Bug Searching Alphanumeric Character From a File
Hi,

In a error log file, the error code of a particular error contains both Alphabet and Numbers. My problem statement is to find the error codes from a particular log. That means, I need to search a word, which contains both alphabet and number. Please help me. Below is two examples of error log entry. Error codes are in red color. error code may be different.

Code:
06 Jul 2012 22:45:55,092 [ERROR] SendToClientService [ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '38' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)': Detailed Exception occured: JMS attempted to perform an MQPUT or MQPUT1; however WebSphere MQ reported an error.com.ibm.msg.client.jms.DetailedJMSException: JMSWMQ2007: Failed to send a message to destination.

16 Jul 2012 11:46:45,650 [ERROR] SendToClientService [ACTIVE] ExecuteThread: '256' for queue: 'weblogic.kernel.Default (self-tuning)': CL1ESB0030S9010 [1] Error while Checking Format.
