I need to search a log file for a specific string (Successfully Sent) and report the number of instances in the last hour (from when executed) and total for the day so far (midnight till the time executed). Can anyone provide any examples of such a program or get me started?
You'd have to specify additional details on how the log-file is formatted, presumably how it's delimited, and what the format of the corresponding time-stamp is. Something like
"I have a tab-delimited log file where the 4th column is the timestamp in the format 'YYYY-MM-DD HH:mm:ss' and the 18th column is the status. I want to search for items where the status contains 'Successfully Sent' and then further filter them by (1) events in the last hour, and (2) all events today"
