cutting unwanted text
Hello,

I have a log file which looks like this :
Quote:
10-10-2006 08:44:45,802 [ some info here ] This is my Event : HTTP GET
10-10-2006 08:44:45,802 [ some info here ] Time duration: 1013 mls. (1 sec.)
I want to cut out some text and get printed only : "HTTP GET" and "Time duration: 1013 mls. (1 sec.)" I tried searching the forum for such solution, but I was unable to find it.
I also tried
Code:
 awk '/duration/ { print $0 }' mylogfile.log

, but this return the entire row of data. Please shed some light on this, thanks.
