Re^2: Multiple Search and Replaces on one file

...but in his example line the first date-time string and the second are -clearly- different. The month happens to be the same in that example. You are taking the date from the first stamp and the time from the second.

Also there is a missing '.' from your first regex.

Your making an assumption that each log entry does not have the same syntax. I am making the assumption that it does because that is what the OP's example shows. Where do you get your info from? Also I am not missing anything from my regexp. Maybe you think my example was trying to match something it was not. www.perlskripts.com	[reply]

Here is his example: `6/13/2005 5:59:57 PM 10.1.1.2 WARNING Jun 13 2005 22:00:04: %PIX-4-106 +023: Deny udp src aliens:192.168.1.35/1148 dst dmz:10.10.10.32/1434 b +y access-group "aliens"` [download] He said that he wanted to convert the Jun (in the second timestamp) to 06. Earlier in the log entry, there is another timestamp. The first timestamp appears to be from 5:59 pm, the second around 10:00 pm. You are making the assumption that the two datestrings in the log file are identical and interchangable. Regex error: "`(%PIX+)`" this matches what? "%PIX" and then an unlimited number of Xs? You surely mean "`(%PIX.+)`", since the way you have it deletes everything in his example log entry after the 'X'.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
