tail -f /var/spool/lp/logs/requests |egrep "U|D|F"

This is the Output:

= APHP-662741, uid 394, gid 50, size 64134, Fri Sep 21 09:47:02 2012
D APHP
F /usr/spool/lp/temp/662741-1
U karoline


How do you format the Output to look like this;

karoline APHP /usr/spool/lp/temp/662741-1


Thanks in advance for your help

 
A starting point:
yourCommand | awk '$1=="D"{d=$2}$1=="F"{f=$2}$1=="U"{print $2,d,f}'

Hope This Helps, PH.
