I need to export some logs off my firewall from its proprietary format into ascii.

Its command syntax to do this is:

fw logexport -n -d ';' -i <input file> -o <output file>

the -n is so it wont try to resolve its IP addresses and the -d is the delimiter to use.

I need to find a way to run this command against a directory full of log files in the format like this:

 

1Jan2000-12:23:00.log

2Jan2000-12:23:00.log

3Jan2000-12:23:00.log

fw.log

Also, I do not need to process the file fw.log so using the ".log" isnt an option unless first testing for the "fw.log" and ommiting it.

Any ideas? Thanks!
