concat 2 greps

[henky]

Hi,

I would like to concat to greps to eachother.

p.e.

file: 016-00.txt
job started: thursday 15 july at 23:00:09

file: 017-01.txt
job started: friday 16 july at 23:00:08

output after the grep

016-thursday 15 july at 23:00:09
017-friday 16 july at 23:00:08

I was thinking about:
grep 'Job started: ' *txt | cut -c 1-4 (concat) grep 'Job started: ' *txt | cut -c 25-100

I dont know what to use in stead of the (concat)
Can anyone help me?

The awk way:
awk '
/[Jj]ob started:/{print substr(FILENAME,1,4)""substr($0,14)}
' *.txt

Hope This Helps, PH.
