Another way using awk (or nawk) :
Code:
awk -F '[-, ]' '
/COMMAND PROCESS FINISHED IN/ {
   printf "COMMAND %s FINISHED IN %s/%s/%s %s\n", $10, $3, $2, $1, $4;
}
' input_file

Jean-Pierre.

Yet another way (BTW I think a command finishes at a point in time, no?)
Code:
$> sed -nr 's/(....)-(..)-(..) (..:..:..),.*] (.*) INFO.*/\5 finished at \3-\2-\1 \4/p' infile
Command 145 finished at 30-10-2007 14:50:05

Dear Aigles,

your code is working fine with nawk. I tried with awk, but it doesn't work. Anyway, with nawk the output format is fine. Thanks for your help.

Dear Scrutinizer,

Code:
sed -nr 's/(....)-(..)-(..) (..:..:..),.*] (.*) INFO.*/\5 finished at \3-\2-\1 \4/p' infile

the error code return : sed: illegal option -- r

I am on SOLARIS 9 it may be the reason.

Thanks anyway for your help.

Code:
sed -n 's/\(....\)-\(..\)-\(..\) \(..:..:..\),.*] \(.*\) INFO.*/\5 finished at \3-\2-\1 \4/p' infile

Ksh is a shell, not a language.
And Perl is a scripting language just like awk/nawk/gawk/tawk etc. which looks so okay to you.

And if you were supposed to use just the shell, then you'd go for something like this, or maybe clumsier:

Code:
$
$ cat f10
2007-10-30 14:50:05,544 [Command Thread-5] Command 145 INFO  saturne.service.command.manager.ExecutableCommand - COMMAND PROCESS FINISHED IN 11448 ms
$
$
$ ##
$ cat f10 | while read c1 c2 c3 c4 c5 c6 c7 c8 c9 c10 c11 c12 c13 c14; do
>   echo $c10 $c12 $c13 ${c1##*-}/${c1:5:2}/${c1%%-*} ${c2%%,*}
> done
COMMAND FINISHED IN 30/10/2007 14:50:05
$
$

Guess I'll never understand the aversion to Perl.

That's clumsy; there's no need for cat.

Whether the shell is better than awk depends on the size of the file.

There's a choice between bloated or unreadable.

Dear durden_tyler, Dear cfajohnson,

Thanks for your help. As I am starting to use shell script and UNIX system, It is hard for me to use the good word about programming language. I am really new about all of this, so I would say sorry for that.

Code:
Whether the shell is better than awk depends on the size of the file.

I've got a log file for each day of the week. Each log file (ex : command.log.2009-11-18) is about 20 or 50 Mo. As there is no web page to create report about this, my idea was to create a shell script with a read command to enter date or periode of the day, week or month and check which command were finished and print the date/time of each command.

I have also discovored that I've got the time on ms taken by the command. I will try to complete your help to make something very helpfull for me.

Code:
2009-10-30 14:50:05,544 [Command Thread-5] Command 266 INFO  saturne.service.command.manager.ExecutableCommand - COMMAND PROCESS FINISHED IN 11448 ms

Thanks to all for your help.

durden_tyler,

as the log file does record a lots of informations that I don't need I have to grep the log file to only found the string
Code:
COMMAND PROCESS FINISHED IN

to extract the info I am looking for. I supposed this is reason why the command that you given return error :
Code:
ksh[2]: ${c1##*-}/${c1:5:2}/${c1%%-*}: bad substitution

Anyway I will try to use all information aleady given to make my need to work
