I'm working on doing some basic file sorting on a web server running unix. I'm basically trying to keep track of a few basic things (hack attempts, what ip addresses connect and how often, how much they download, etc.) However, after sorting everything, I want to delete lines containing a certain ip address and/or the - character. However I just cannot figure out what command to use to accomplish this, here's what I have (assuming all log files are named access.log.x where x is a number):
basically the first field from the apache log files is the ip address, and the tenth field is either the size downloaded in bytes or in case of a 404 error a - character. After pasting and sorting by file size in descending order I need to chop out those lines. I have everything accomplished up until deleting those lines, at which point im lost. Any suggestions?? Thank you very much.Code:cut -d ' ' -f1 access*>tf2 cut -d ' ' -f10 access*>tf1 echo "Bandwidth usage by file size:">usage.rpt paste -d ' ' tf1 tf2 | sort -n -r >>usage.rpt ^command to delete needed here
