I guess you could try gawk instead. For debug, replace if(n != 3) next with if(n != 3) { printf("DEBUG: timestamp in wrong format\n") next } and if(n != 10) next with if(n != 10) { printf("DEBUG: counts in wrong format\n") next }

Adding to your grep (but of course awk can do the grep): grep 'Session statistics: Requests' * | awk ' BEGIN { FieldFormat = "%-30s %-25s %6s %7s %7s %6s\n" printf(FieldFormat,"Job","Time","Added","Updated","Deleted","Errors")...

# code_block.awk # # modified to output timestamp once per matching block # # match the timestamp # # Sample: # Sat Jan 31 01:56:15 2009(abcd .... wxyz)test_has_passed(abcd .... wxyz) match($0,/^... ... .. ..:..:.. ..../) { sub("\r\n","") LastTime = substr($0,RSTART,RLENGTH)...

# code_block.awk # match the timestamp # # Sample: # Sat Jan 31 01:56:15 2009(abcd .... wxyz)test_has_passed(abcd .... wxyz) match($0,/^... ... .. ..:..:.. ..../) { sub("\r\n","") LastTime = substr($0,RSTART,RLENGTH) next } # print lines found with wq15 until blank or 0D 0A ... #...

I forgot to add "next"'s to skip other lines, so add "next" before each closing brace, and add { next } to skip other lines.

If all you care about is the timestamp to be output whenever your pattern matches, then just keep the last recognized timestamp in a variable of its own and print it when you get your pattern. Something like: /^... ... .. ..:..:.. ..../ { #adjust RE to match better...
