Thanks for that.
I'm writing a parser to print a summary of the accounting file in the
form:-
userName -> totalPagecount
as this is for page use monitering rather than full blown accounting
(next year I think!).
I'd like to be sure that I'm getting the right pagecount for the right
user (even after uncompleted jobs) & the example in the howto is
different from this.
Here's a section of my file numbered for convenience.
I noticed in this small example that
(line 1) START -> 'D=997869440' (odd looking date)
is the same as
(line 9) END -> 'S=997869440' (System 'name' stuff...)
and the same for matching fields in lines 4 & 10.
Do these fields START D= and END S= *always* match for a job? They
*appear* to in my file but that's only 53 lines long so far so I can't
be sure. The END -> p= 'pages (sides) used' count is correct for the
jobs in this example (I sent/cancelled them!).
Also, does anyone have a longer (1000+ lines) accounting file in the
same format that I can use for a more realistic test?
Regards
Ian
