Hi math&ing001,

I also run into another problem : the loop skips the second round of entries as there are a bunch of "/Relay.access.denied/" in the file. ... So my question is, is there a way to tell <> to go back one line at the end of the loop.

There isn't a good way to do that, however, in the code examples I showed, it is of course possible to do multiple things on each line of input, which is how I would approach the solution. However, it's hard for me to fully understand the problems you described, it would be helpful if you could provide more short sample input that illustrates the problem along with the output you are expecting for that sample input. See also Short, Self-Contained, Correct Example and How do I post a question effectively?
