Re^3: RegEx : Filtering a log file

[EdwardG]

You asked for guidance and help - and that's what you got - now, would you like more explanation or is there something else troubling you?

I understand RegEx can be a steep learning curve, but if you can ask specific questions I'm sure you will get good answers from those assembled.

Unfortunately I don't have enough spare time to work through all your requirements one at a time.

Apologies if I sounded a bit patronizing,

But instead of the printf "%s\t%s\t%s\n", $splited[0],$splited[$#splited-1], $splited[$#splited]; I thought by using Regex can speed it up and makes it more efficient.

Thanks for your help, I have learnt something from it.
