I am trying to parse my mail log files to find out the number of messages received per day and the total size of the messages received.
The format of the log files is: >From xxxxx Fri Oct 28 14:25:12 2005 Subject: FW: Emailing: super_cop_1_.wmv Folder: ~/Maildir/new/1130462726.5627_0.xxx 2442024 Getting the number of messages per day is pretty easy, and I have done in this way" for f in ~/Maildir/log*; do echo "$f :" `grep "Folder:" "$f" | wc -l`; done I would also like to be able to get the total bytes/kbytes of the messages received for the day and although I can see how it should be done logically I do not know how to translate this into a command for a shell script like the above. Logic tells me that we want the last "word" of the line starting with the word "Folder:" and keep a running total of this. Can anyone advise how I can do this? Cheers Jamie
