Need help with a shell script

I am a beginner in scripting and need some advise .

I have a log file which has following

Code:
2009-11-30 01:33:00,710 Beginning a.gzip
2009-11-30 01:33:56,704 Completed a.gzip
2009-11-30 01:33:56,704 Beginning b.gzip
2009-11-30 01:34:45,828 Completed b.gzip
2009-11-30 02:20:00,018 Beginning c.gzip
2009-11-30 02:22:46,349 Finished c.gzip

Now I have a directory which has all these files as well and if you do "zcat a.zip|wc -l you will find the number of rows" .

I need to plot no of rows on y axis and time taken to process and if possible with hourly range.on x axis.

Wondering if I can automate this with a shell script and the output would be name value pair like follwing so it is easier to plot or some other ide you have
Code:
transactions =2323 ,time taken =5minutes
transactions =2123 ,time taken =5 minute 
transactions =3323 ,time taken =6 minute 
transactions =4323 ,time taken =7 minute

It may be a good idea to use a scripting language like Perl or Python if the date arithmetic is complex (e.g. change of dates/months/years etc.)

Given below is a solution in Perl. CPAN is the repository of all Perl modules and Date::Calc is a small and elegant module for performing blazingly fast date arithmetic.

Code:
$                                                                            
$                                                                            
$ # show the contents of the log file                                        
$ cat test.log

2009-11-30 01:33:56,704 Completed a.zip                                      
2009-11-30 01:33:56,704 Beginning b.zip                                      
2009-11-30 01:34:45,828 Completed b.zip

Thanks . I was hoping this in bash as the prod machines have the files and have no access for any modules or cpan or YUM

Hi, if you have gnu date on your system you can do something like this:
Code:
mins_diff()
{
  echo $((($(date -d "$2" +%s)-$(date -d "$1" +%s))/60))
}

while read date time phase name; do
  case $phase in
    Beginning) start="$date $time" ;;
    Completed|Finished)
               end="$date $time"
               printf "transactions = $(zcat "$name"|wc -l) ,"
               printf "time taken = $( mins_diff "$start" "$end" ) minutes\n" ;;
  esac
done < logfile

Thanks for the tips both are working but need a little help as this is my first perl program

a) In the perl script instead of specifying test.log how can we change itto go to say /logs directory and pick up all server.log.<date> files instead ?

b) Can you please explain line 7,9,10,11?

Code:
     7    if (/((\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2}) (\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2})),\d+ Beginning (.*)$/) {
     8      # set the START date and time components, and the zip file name
     9      $y1=$2; $mon1=$3; $d1=$4;
    10      $h1=$5; $min1=$6; $s1=$7;
    11      $zfile1 = $8;

You are always welcome..
And good that you have started to try to understand the program.

Perl is TMTOWTDI language. Let me show you one way for achieving that.

Code:
$ cat t.pl 
foreach ( `/bin/ls /logs/test.log*` )
{
    print "file: $_";
}


It prints the following output:
Code:
$ perl t.pl
file: /logs/test.log
file: /logs/test.log.010110
file: /logs/test.log.311209

9 $y1=$2; $mon1=$3; $d1=$4;
10 $h1=$5; $min1=$6; $s1=$7;
11 $zfile1 = $8;

Line 7: That is a regular expression,
() - capture it in variables ( $1, $2, $3... )
\d - match a digit
{4} - match previous item 4 times, ( i.e 4 digits here )

Line 8: assign the captured things to variables,

$1 is the value captured in first set of parenthesis, $2 -- second set of parenthesis value .. and so on.

Hope you understand. Also there are a lot of places where you can learn perl. Perl is really very simple to learn and understand. Just google and learn.

Thanks folks. I promise to read REGEX and more Perl stuff and contribute as I learn more to this awesome forum. I have one last question to complete my other script .

Per the example and explanation the below code works fine
Code:
2009-11-30 01:33:00,710 Beginning a.zip
(/((\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2}) (\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2})),\d+ Beginning (.*)$/)

Then what modification do I need if the logfile is say
Code:
2009-11-20 00:25:23,481 DEBUG  [com.blah.blah] Beginning file loading :file1_complete.zip
 will the following work ?  
(/((\d{4})-(\d{2})-(\d{2}) (\d{2}):(\d{2}):(\d{2})),\d+ Beginning file loading(.*)$/)
