Pattern match and counting script -->how to write ?
Hi Group,
See the following log file of apache (HTTPD).
I want a script which can calculate the busiest date. This file is long (very long) with the lines below:
I can do it with grep command as below, which works perfectly:
# less access.log |grep -c 03/Jan/2005
03
but with this I need to put the pattern manualli i.e. 03/Jan/2005.
Is there a good way to write this script which will automatically give me a busyiest day of the year. the file has more then 4 yrs access record so its only possible with a good script.
In general, I wouldn't try to use a shell script to do this. However, in perl, it is only a few lines of code to parse an Apache log file. There are other equally suitable languages for the task. An alternative might be to use a ready-made log file analyzer.
