It returns the data I need, the only other issue is that it also returns counts for entries that aren't user related as the log files do contain entries that don't have to do with user activity.
Do the log entries that you want to exclude from the report contain "username":"email@address" strings? If they do, how do you identify the log entries you want to select or the log entries you want to exclude?
Basically, this is another request for a clear definition of your input file format.

The log entries that I would like excluded do not contain
So basically I only want entries that do contain
to be displayed in the output
Thanks RudiC, the output was mostly correct, however some lines of output were just blank space after the date (I added the commas so later I can output into csv easily):
Hmm, I'm learning a lot as we go along. I've been breaking down what DonC wrote (RudiC's will be next probably tonight when I get home), and I think I just need to be able to tell it not to output any line that returns a 0 (no match found) when this is run:
I just haven't figured out how to tell it that, maybe I am thinking about this the wrong way.

You're learning quickly. I also submitted something that did it slightly differently, but RudiC posted his before I posted mine, so I deleted it. I am reposting mine here (with changes for CSV format output without the spaces around the commas) hoping that something in your log data contains the string username but does not match the pattern "username":"user@host" (which the code below would treat differently than RudiC's suggestion does):
This can still produce output like you've shown above, if a log entry contains the literal string "username":"" (and maybe also if the second quoted string contains blanks). So, let us know if the above code still produces unwanted output and we can try to track down the log entries causing the problem and eliminate them from consideration.

Ok, so I'm back, the CEO has changed how he wants the output sorted/presented.
He wants it primarily sorted alphanumerically by organization which is the second part of the username after the "@".
Then the secondary sort key would be increasing date. And finally a third sort key would be alphanumeric using just the user without the org part.
So thinking it through, if I were to use Don your last piece of code:
And here is a sample entry again:
We would have to split the user key into two pieces, user (in this example joe) and org (in this example mycompany without the .com)? And then change the sort order of the keys at the end of the script? Or would this require a second script?
