I have an application log that shows the "time", "id" and "type" for a user logging in. A short except looks like this:
19/12/2005 07:28:37 User (guest) logging in from (LIMS-CIT) - Assigned Userno (7045) 19/12/2005 07:32:06 User (guest) logging in from (LIMS-CIT) - Assigned Userno (1959) 19/12/2005 07:51:38 User (guest) logging in from (LIMS-CIT) - Assigned Userno (7601) 19/12/2005 07:54:10 User (guest) logging off - Userno (7601) I need to get the difference in the time from when 7601 logged into the system and logged out of the system. The caveat is that 7601 could log in and log out multiple times. I am having a hard time thinking about how to do that. Should I find the first login and look for the logout, get the diff and reset some counter. Do I use a hash for this? Just a little push (not off the cliff please)...is all I need.
