Data deleting lines in a log file

Hello Community,

sorry iam from germany and my englisch is not so well.
iam searching for less then 4 hours on the web for a solution of my problem.
i have a proxy-log-file and want to delete lines wicht matches on two words.
example of the line in the logfile:

Quote:
1300576811.084 95 10.38.22.131 TCP_MISS/200 46730 GET ** http: // nachrichten.t-online.de/b/40/19/8 8/02/id_40198802/tid_da/index. jpg **
- DIRECT/217.6.164.165 image/jpeg
now i want to delet lines, that matches to the ip.address 10.38.22.131 and an defined url for example nachrichten.t-online.de

i tried to do this with following command:

Code:
 
sed -e "/10.38.22.131 /,/nachrichten.t-online.de/d" access_backup.log > access_backup2.log

my problem now, that all lines which includes the ip-address will be deleted and not online these how include nachrichten.t-online.d e.


i hope you can help me.

Try:
Code:
awk '/10.38.22.131/ && /nachrichten.t-online.de/{next}1' access_backup.log > access_backup2.log

One way through sed would be..
Code:
sed '/10.38.22.131/{/nachrichten.t-online.de/d}' access_backup.log > access_backup2.log
