Answers: regex - How to identify tab delimited columns in Multitail

Meir

I'm trying to remove certain columns from my logs, where columns are delimited by tabs.

Here are some ways I've tried to remove the second column which didn't work.

multitail -kc "    " 2 my.log
multitail -kc "\t" 2 my.log
multitail -kc "\s" 2 my.log

No text was removed at all by these commands.

Any suggestions?

Example of log

2014-05-13 11:08:09     (i) HTTP Basic Auth - Username: dom\boss

I want to write a regex that matches either:

insert #TempTable

or

update #TempTable

How do I do it? I guess an imperfect way to go about it would be:

[insertupda]{6} #TempTable

While this does work in my situation, i want to know the right way to do this.

Thanks :)
