| Jun 26, 2014 at 17:18 | comment | added | Geek | @DavidKohen I would like to save this script. So if I save this as say findEvents.awk. Can I execute it like this: awk -f findEvents.awk A.log ? | |
| Jun 26, 2014 at 17:09 | comment | added | Didi Kohen | To use this script just replace the inputfile.txt with your file name, or better, remove the cat and pipe, and put your file name after the closing single quote. | |
| Jun 26, 2014 at 17:03 | comment | added | Geek | @LatinSuD I am not familiar with awk. So if you can add the part that I need to do to run the above program it will be very helpful. For me the input file is say A.log. | |
