hello..

im having here the IPlogs of a server, and i have made an stripper for it in batch. What it now does is stripping the time and date, the local ip address and is does sort it all in alphabetic order. My next try is to exclude the ports from the ips. The server does put them in this order: ip.port so: 1.2.3.4.80 as an example of ip 1.2.3.4 using the http port. I cant work with the 1.2.3.4.80 etc values and im looking how i can strip everything behind behind the last dot '.'. Anyone an idea of how i could do this?

Greetz, Zalio

Welcome to TSG!

It would help if you mentioned the language you're working with; since you mention a "batch script", I'll assume you're using bash or similar shell. Here's one way to do it (although far from the most elegant):

FILENAME=1.2.3.80
NEWFILENAME=`echo $FILENAME | tr '.' ' ' | awk '{ printf "%s.%s.%s\n", $1, $2, $3 }'`
echo newfilename is $NEWFILENAME

Hope this helps.

Oops! -- Now this is embarrassing! Forgot which forum I was posting in (too many open windows, I guess!). Anyway, feel free to disregard that last wild pitch ...

hehe, sorry for that little mistake.. with batch i mean Windows Win32/DOS scripting. Im not at home now, but my script is like:

-------
@echo off
for /f "eol; something" %%i in (source.txt) do echo %%i>>destination.txt
goto nextthing

:nextthing
echo hehe
-----

and then the same question, if you still can help me would be pleasant!
