Sorry Karl. My reply was intended as a reply to wrog.

I must have clicked the wrong link; which from memory is a first for me. I make plenty of other stupid user errors here, but never (that I recall) replying to the wrong post.

    which is a little bit odd, since I don't recall attempting to provide a pre-solved solution myself, but whatever.

    If the point is to provide a learning exercise in how split can bite you in the ass, then fine.

    (or if Apache really does go to some pains to make sure spaces never show up in the various log fields -- say by always representing them as + or %20 -- then yay, but I'm not sure this is actually true.)

        • which says nothing about logname and user,
        • nor does it guarantee that the HTTP command field always consists of exactly 3 space-separated components (hint: it doesn't).
