Remove entries from log file

[SM777]

How can I strip lines from my access_log file?

I can grep to extract them to a file but I want to remove all those darn Code Red default.ida lines which are screwing up my stats reports.

Is this possible with a Grep? i.e. extract all but lines containing 'default.ida'

Try this
cat access.log |sed -e s/default.ida//g

It worked on a file I used as a test. All it really does is substitute a null value for "default.ida" thus deleteing the entry. Hope it works/helps.

The software required `Windows 95 or better', so I installed Linux.

I forgot to tell you to redirect the command to a new file. Sorry. Actually if you copy your access.log to another name (cp access.log access.log.cr) then do
cat access.log.cr |sed -e s/default.ida//g >>access.log.new Then review the new file and once your satisfied do "mv access.log.new access.log" d3funct
