Well, awk by itself has no knowledge of the format of website log files, or
any other structured text format. All it knows about input formats is how to
separate input into records ("lines") based on a record separator character
(by default newline), and how to separate records ("lines") into fields based
on a field separator character. You will have to write the awk script to
interpret
the log files yourself. For instructions how to do that, read the gawk
documentation,
and read some awk tutorials. Use Google.
Anyway, for this task, my initial guess would be that it is such a common task
that surely there must exist specialized tools ("freeware", or commercial)
already
that can analyze website log files in almost any way one might want. And if
you insist in doing it yourself, or really need some kind of analysis such tools
don't provide, I would also guess that a much more suitable language would be
Perl, as I am pretty certain there exist Perl modules to interpret the log file
formats of all common web servers. Or Python, for that matter.
