To whom it may concern,

I have a question about a script I need to create. The question is that when I am given the log file scootmail_log.txt created from people entering information in a form requesting to be added to an opt-in email list, I need to create a script to extract the email and real name from the log and put in a new file called email.txt in the format FirstName LastName <emailaddress@domain.ext>. I cannot seem to copy and paste the contents of the file to this thread, so if no one can help me without seeing the log file that is fine. But if anyone can help me without seeing the file then any help would be greatly appreciated.

well we have to know what the file looks like. there's certainly nothing technical on the side of LQ.org preventing a copy and paste... without that, i can say i'm sure grep and sed will sort you out for one method. another would be awk.

Here is what a portion of the file looks like:

Since I am a newbie can someone type the script out using vi and paste it to their reply. If no one can type it out then that is fine, but any help would be greatly appreciated.

I see three different formats of the recipient address. However, they all have one thing in common: the recipient address is between 'recipient=' and '& subject'.

So, grep the file looking for 'recipient=' and extract the part between 'recipient=' and '& subject' to get the email address, then extract the part between 'realname=' and '& essay' to get the real name.

PLEASE don't post long files like this--the info we need is contained in just a few lines.

Is the file really this ugly--with all the funny characters? Also, there are places where some data seems to be missing.

Take this line as an example:
Quote:
recipient=rso623s@aol.com&subject=Member of email list.&realname=Scott Orcutt&
I assume you want to extract this:
recipient=rso623s@aol.com
realname=Scott Orcutt

The problem in using simple tools is that there don't seem to be line breaks in consistent places. If these two things were always on the same line, you could just use "grep recipient filename". In this case, I can't tell what the output would be.

The first thing I would do is simply run some tests on PART of the file to see what tools give you consistent results.

What would the grep command to do this look like and should I put this inside of a script as the beginning of the script? Also what is the command to extract the part between recipient= and & subject and realname= and & essay?

I know everyone is very busy, but I would really appreciate it if someone who has some spare time can make this script for me and paste it to their reply. If no one has any spare time than that is fine. I just need it by tomorrow, but I can try to do it myself if no one has any time. But any help would be greatly appreciated I would be in debt to the person who made this script for me.

Sincerely,

Polanski

Aren't you going to even attempt to make something yourself?

Polanski 11-05-2007 04:32 PM
I would try to do it myself but I do not have the time. If I had the time I would do it but I am at work right now and do not have the time to do the research.

Seeing the file as you sent it, I would not assume this is going to be all that easy. There are people here who will--just for the challenge--dive in and write the thing. This is the exception---most of us are simply going to try and give hints.

Frankly, coming here and saying "please do this because I don't have time" is not making a good impression. Telling us WHY you need it tomorrow might help.

How about addressing my main questions--is the file really that messy (all the extra characters and no line breaks) and is it true that some data got deleted when you did the cut and paste?

LlNUX 11-05-2007 05:50 PM
:-) if you do not have a time do not it then...!!

matthewg42 11-05-2007 05:51 PM
It seems like the data you posted has some missing & characters, causing some of the field to get mixed up. I hope this is just a problem caused when you copied to the data to the thread (else you have a bug in our form code).

This program, when run on the input file will generate a list of email and real names. You should be able to work out how to extend it if you want to extract other fields:
Code:
#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

$/ = "button=Submit";

while(<>) {
        my($recipient, $name) = ("unknown recipient", "unknown name");
        if ( /recipient=([^&]+)&/ ) { $recipient = dehex($1); }
        if ( /realname=([^&]+)&/ ) { $name = dehex($1); }
        printf("%-30s %s\n", $recipient, $name);
}

sub dehex {
        my $str = shift;
        $str =~ s/%([0-9a-f]{2})/chr(hex($1))/ige;
        return $str;
}
Save that to a file called "my_extract", open a terminal and cd to the directory where my_extract is saved and do this:
Code:
chmod 755 my_extract
Then call it like this (where /path/to/logfile is the path to the file where the form data is saved):
Code:
./my_extract /path/to/logfile

I need it by tomorrow because one of my friends threatened to take it off if I did not finish the script by tommorrow and he is not a very kind person because he does not like it when I use his computer to save some of my files. Right now my computer is down and he does not take calls unless it is really important. Also, the answer is yes to the copy and paste issue, the file was too long so I had to delete some of it and yes the file is that messy.

Polanski 11-05-2007 06:30 PM
I am using the computer at work right now.

Polanski 11-05-2007 06:31 PM
I can only use the computer at work for the internet, they will not allow me to save any files on it because other people use it.
