I think I asked for more details than I can understand. I got lost on that video after the first minute or two. I am so new to unix that any of these commands have NO meaning to me.
That worked perfectly except that it put them all on one line.
Is there a way to separate them out one per line?

Hi Mark,
I'm glad that you think greet_sed's script did what you want, but it seems a little bit too simple to me. If we take a slightly different sample file (expanded from your example in post #1 in this thread:
with no line terminator. Note that it also converts all sequences of multiple blanks on an input line to a single space on output lines (in this case changing the two spaces before INFO to a single space). I don't know if this will matter to whatever will be looking at your output.
You can't just look at the seconds field to determine if two timestamps are within ten seconds of each other. As shown above, greet_sed's code does not detect when the start and end times are one minute apart, one hour apart, or even eleven seconds apart if the two times are not in the same minute.
Now that we know that all timestamps in your input data will occur on a single date, we can slightly simplify Scrutinizer's code and get the same results:
Code:
awk '
{ # Split end time field into hours, minutes, and seconds.
split($2, time, ":")
# Convert hour, minutes, and seconds to seconds since midnight.
end_time = time[1] * 3600 + time[2] * 60 + time[3]
# Split start time field into hours, minutes, and seconds.
split($NF, time, ":")
# Convert hour, minutes, and seconds to seconds since midnight.
start_time = time[1] * 3600 + time[2] * 60 + time[3]
}
# If the end time is more than ten seconds after the start time, print the line.
end_time - start_time > 10

I appreciate you trying to assist, but you might as well provide the theories of Relativity as well because everything you said makes about as much sense to me.
I respectfully appreciate that you are trying to explain it, but i lost you after "Hi Mark".

Mark,
OK. Let me simplify it... The code greet_sed suggested does not work. The code Scrutinizer suggested in post #3 in this thread does work.
Now that we know that all all of your timestamps are on a single date, we can simplify Scrutinizer's code (and strip out the comments since you apparently don't want an explanation of how anything works and don't want to be distracted by our attempts to help you) to just:
Code:
awk '
{ split($2, t, ":")
e = t[1] * 3600 + t[2] * 60 + t[3]
split($NF, t, ":")
s = t[1] * 3600 + t[2] * 60 + t[3]
}
e - s > 10
' Example
I sincerely apologize for trying to help you understand that greet_sed's code does not work and for showing you examples that show failures in the output greet_sed's code produces.
