OK, now, that you have provided an example it is a lot clearer what you want. To correct selectively some records you will need to specify how they could be selected: is there a certain line length that tells use which record is "complete" and which one is not? A number of fields? Or is there any other property to base this decision on?

I hope this helps.

finding string in very long file without newlines

What's the best way to find a string in a very long file without newlines in Unix? The standard utility I'm aware of for finding a string in a single file is grep, but for a long file without newlines, I think the output is just going to be the input. I suppose I could use sed to replace the... (5 Replies)

RAGATOR(1)						      General Commands Manual							RAGATOR(1)

NAME
ragator - aggregate argus(8) data file entries. COPYRIGHT
Copyright (c) 2000-2003 QoSient. All rights reserved. SYNOPSIS
ragator [-f ragator.conf] [raoptions] DESCRIPTION
Ragator reads argus(8) data from an argus-file, and merges matching argus flow activity records together. In its default mode of options, this effectively converts argus(8) files from detail to non-detail mode, and merges periodic flow report records to a single argus record, thus compressing the argus(8) file to a reduced size. You can modify the aggregation strategy used by ragator to merge records together, by using the -f ragator.conf option. See ragator(5) for a complete description of the format and syntax of the flow model file. OPTIONS
Ragator, like all ra based clients, supports a number of ra options including filtering of input argus records through a terminating filter expression. See ra(1) for a complete description of ra options. AUTHORS
