No they don't, but thanks for the input. :b:

I have this script to parse some logs:

#!/bin/bash
id=$1
shift
sed "/(id=$id)/,/^$/!d" "$@"

Usage: ./script.sh 1234 logfile

The logs have an empty line before the logged events/timestamps...

Ah, nice. :)

Thanks, that works like a charm. :) What does shift do?

Sorry, that could be described a bit better, yes.

What if I would want to do this in a script:

grep string file*

This would obviously not work then, as it would only grep in one file?...

What if would do kind of the same thing but with grep, where I would use multiple arguments, and still wanted to use wildcard for the filenames?

I assume I could get that into a for loop...?

I have four files:

test
test2
test3
test4

I have this simple script:

#!/bin/bash
ls $1

Why does ./the_script.sh test* only list the first file, when a normal ls test* would list all...

Thank you for the quick reply, and yes, that did the trick. Much appreciated. :)

And if I want to be...

Script newbie, so I'm sure I'm missing something obvious here, but how come this simple script does not work?

#!/bin/bash ...

Thanks, I will try that. :)

Yes that seems to do the job perfectly. :) Thank you so much for taking your time to do this, I appreciate it a lot.

Thanks! How would I use that outside a script?

That is already corrected, see my last post.

Aaah, good catch! :wall:

That seems to have fixed it, now I think it's all good. Thanks everyone! :)

Edit: Nope, it didn't. :( I still have some strange sorting. I think it occurs when the day...

Now I'm running this, which still give me a result which aren't really sorted:

perl -ne'BEGIN {
@m{
qw[ jan feb mar apr maj jun jul aug sep oct nov dec ]
} = 0 .. 11;
}
do {
...

Ja det är de. Yes they are. But I've changed that in the script also, it's only May/Maj that is different.

I must have missed something, now I get it to run through it at least. But it doesn't seem to sort it as it should.

For example, I get this:



Those two posts from 2007 should obviously not...

Thanks.

I do get an error when I execute the script though:



I use the filename output.txt as infile.

I assume removing whitespaces in the n first characters of a string would be an easy task for sed? If so, how?

They are part of the input.

I now have a 230,000+ lines long text file formatted in segments like this:



Is there a way to sort this file to have everything in chronological order, based on the date and time in the text?...

Thanks, but I can't get that to work, I get the same result as in my first post.

Edit: Sorry, you are correct, that worked like a charm! I checked the wrong output file. :o

If I have this:

perl -pne 's/img_onload.{8}//g'

How would I do to instead of replacing img_onload.{8} with "nothing", get "nothing" to be a deleted line? Kind of the opposite to \n.

Dirty or not, I piped the first one to the second one, and it works like a charm! :b: Thank you so much.
