compare data
Hi,

my problem is, I have to files, one is a log file of an actual execution, the other file is a pattern file.

The entries

"abcd,,!!11.22!!,3asdf" and
"abcd,,!!xx.xx!!,3asdf"

should be identified as equal.
At the position of the x in the pattern file, the log file must have any character or number, but its not important what character or number stands there. The rest of the string must be identical to the string in the pattern file.

Is this possible to check in a unix script???
I tried to do this with sed and diff, but it was not successfull...

Thanx for help

Ben Sky

exigrep

EXIGREP(8)						      System Manager's Manual							EXIGREP(8)

NAME

       EXIGREP - Search Exim's main log

SYNOPSIS

       exigrep [-l] pattern [log file] ...

DESCRIPTION

       The  exigrep  utility  is  a  Perl script that searches one or more main log files for entries that match a given pattern.  When it finds a
       match, it extracts all the log entries for the relevant message, not just those that match the pattern.	Thus, exigrep can extract complete
       log entries for a given message, or all mail for a given user, or for a given host, for example.

       The -l flag means 'literal', that is, treat all characters in the pattern as standing for themselves.  Otherwise the pattern must be a Perl
       regular expression.  The pattern match is case-insensitive.  If no file names are given on the command line, the standard input is read.

       If the location of a zcat command is known from the definition of ZCAT_COMMAND in Local/Makefile, exigrep  automatically  passes  any  file
       whose name ends in COMPRESS_SUFFIX through zcat as it searches it.

BUGS

       This manual page needs a major re-work. If somebody knows better groff than us and has more experience in writing manual pages, any patches
       would be greatly appreciated.
