Re: REGEXP removing - il- - -b-f and - il- - - - f

I was assuming it was a typo/email munge, and that the command he
pipes actually produces consistent output.  That may be a faulty
assumption on my part.  YOu know what they say about assumptions In


Its hard to say Derek doesn't give us much to work with :)

general, though, when parsing log files (which seems to be waht's
going on here) if you're assured reasonably consisten data, it's
better IMNSHO to look for a particular index, because loggers are more
likely to add occasional extranious info or comments at the end of the
line than in the middle.

Yeah, I imagine you're correct in your assumption, without actual valid info its hard to tell :)

Basically if you're gauranteed it index 7 use index 7, otherwise if you're gauranteed its the last item (and it may be 7 and it may not be( use the $#array version, if you can't do either redo it all based on hoew the output is. And if you post to the list about it please send accurate info.
