Hi all,

I have been assigned to look at a server log file & pick out various data - user ID etc. - problem is that it's an unformatted log file... any suggestions on how I can go about doing this, in the best manner ( awk etc )? Also I may use whatever tool I wish to do this ( ksh, csh, perl ), which of these would offer the best reporting style - perhaps the best formatting possibilities? I'm planning to display the data in JSP / ASP ( eventually... ) so any thoughts etc. on this would be great....

Thanks for your help,
Jo.

The log file is a series of entries such as this one;

Testdata server [26/Aug/2002:08:51:40] "111.111.111.111 "

I would like to extract the following information from the log file; server & ip address.

any ideas?

Thanks,
Joe.
