This grabs anything between < and > on a line with 450 in it, and print it. I'm not sure if this is what you want to do.

cat /var/log/mail/info | perl -n -e 'print $1, $/ if /450 <([^>]*)>/'

Ladies and gentlemen, we have a new nominee for the Useless Use of Cat Award ! ;) This would do exactly the same, yet without abusing cat: `perl -n -e 'print $1, $/ if /450 <([^>]*)>/' /var/log/mail/info` [download] -- b10m All code is usually tested, but rarely trusted.	[reply] [d/l]
