Hi all,
Don't know whether this requires a "sed" and/or an "awk" solution. I have strings in a log file whose only important info for a digest are new strings containing the date, time, and the remainder of the line following the first occurrence of a hyphen. All delimiters are spaces until the first hyhpen (there may be multiple hyphens but I only care about the first).
Here is what the original line looks like:
date time txt1 txt2 txt3: txt4 txt5 txt6 txt7 domain-email
Here is what I'm looking for:
date time partFollowingHyphen1
Way beyond my sedawk-foo.
Any takers?
Thanks in advance, Mike Wright
