I am writing a script to split a log file - the log could contain multiple days worth of logs. The second line of the log contains the string "Version ". In my test log which comprises of two days worth of logs, this string appears twice - once each day.
Essentially I would like to split on the line before this line, unfortunately there is nothing unique in it. The script thus far gets the line number that "Version " is on and populates an array. My problem is....I am not sure how to subtract one from each array element. The main part of my code looks like this:
I delete the file ending in 00 currently as a hack because it currently splits on line 2, so that log actually only contains one line. And the result from the echo is:
So in this instance from my one log, I want to create two logs - the second log will begin on line 1177298
Thoughts on how to do this, or a better way to achieve it?
Your code is "interesting" syntactically. We can deal with that later.
Example:
means return failure, so your script "always fails" as far as the caller is concerned.
Note there are config options in the application to have the date and or time at the start of each line. In this example I would want two files created from this.....one containing lines 1-13 and the second containing line 14-end
