hi all,

me again, dennis's script working fine all the time except one, when the "User-Name" field contains some special character like {}$%!@#^&*(). how to prevent that to happen. sample data:

Fri Aug 01 00:02:02 2008
NAS-IP-Address = 172.16.160.1
Class = "P1-SHT-AAA01;1217116976;71005"
Calling-Station-Id = "00-11-FB-01-03-06"
Acct-Status-Type = Stop
Acct-Session-Id = "31908b485d370000"
Framed-IP-Address = 172.16.160.20
BS-ID = 000012A00413
User-Name = "{as=1}user3"

btw, the username value random generated by device. and here is the original awk script:

awk -F= '!/^$/{if ($0 !~ /=/) {str="date -d \""$0"\" \"+%F*%H:%M:%S\""; val=system(str); } else {print $2;} }' < $tmp/data.out.start.strip | xargs -n9 | tr " " "*"

thanks in advance.

actually Iam getting the following errors:

xargs: unmatched double quote; by default quotes are special to xargs unless you use the -0 option

thanks
