Greetings all,
I'm working on a log parsing project and am trying to modify one of the scripts, but it's giving me some fits that I can't figure out. The code: 
 if (length($_)>10) {
        $readlines++;

[download]

This is the original. It's an arbitrary lenght check. If the log line is at least 10 characters, it'll pass. What I need to do is add a secondary check to verify that the log line contains one of our IP addresses. Here's what I've tried:
 if (length($_)>10) {
        if ($_ =~ (m/192\.168\./g)) {
        $readlines++;

[download]

But what happens is that I only ever have one line accepted. If I run the original script, I had 10,000 lines accepted. With this mod, the identical content only has one line accepted.
Suggestions?
Thanks,
monger
