Looks like a case for a few lines of perl, and a quick call to sort for the ordering, probably the easiest fix.I have a file of Netgear router data that I would like to sort on date and time.the form is as below: [Site allowed: weather.noaa.gov] from source 192.168.1.9 Saturday, Aug 01,2009 17:02:51 [Site allowed: safebrowsing-cache.google.com] from source 192.168.1.11 Saturday, Aug 01,2009 17:00:16 [Site allowed: safebrowsing.clients.google.com] from source 192.168.1.11 Saturday, Aug 01,2009 17:00:13The router appears to accumulate data until full and then clears at some point and starts a new block of data. I can collect the data periodically [perhaps at 30 minute intervals, whatever works for me] and append it to a new file I called "home/bobg/NG-LOG" but this leaves me with a jumble of date/time information since the raw log data is in descending order of date/time and I am adding the latest data in the same order but at the bottom so the list it may show 16:00-15:30 followed by the latest block on the list 16:30-16:00.I need to either sort the data as a function of time or append the new data to the beginning of the "NG-LOG" file instead of the end. I don't know where to start on this? I'm probably missing something obvious but ...Any suggestions appreciated.
