Thanks a lot for your help.I have the last problem to resolve.
The script:
-------------------------------------------------------------------
#!/usr/bin/perl
$_ = q(
Apr 22 01:03:01 pandora ipop3d[28245]: Login user=holy00
Apr 21 01:03:01 pandora ipop3d[28245]: Login user=holy01
Apr 21 01:03:01 pandora ipop3d[28245]: Login user=holy05
Apr 21 01:03:01 pandora ipop3d[28245]: Login user=holy01
Apr 21 01:03:01 pandora ipop3d[28245]: Login user=holy00
Apr 21 01:03:01 pandora ipop3d[28245]: Login user=holy02
Apr 21 01:03:01 pandora ipop3d[28245]: Login user=holy05
Apr 21 01:03:01 pandora ipop3d[28245]: Login user=holy01
Apr 21 01:03:01 pandora ipop3d[28245]: Login user=holy00
);
for (split/\n/) {s~(.+user=)(.+)~$2~; $users{$_} = x}
for (sort keys %users) {print "$_$/"}
----------------------------------------------------------------
is perfect,but I didn't copy the last part of the line:
----------------------------------------------------------------
Apr 14 17:24:45 pandora ipop3d[6577]: Login user=ct000512
host=ppp-62-11-119-90.dialup.tiscali.it
----------------------------------------------------------------
How can extract now just the user name?
And how is possible to use a big file(maillog) instead of the log lines?
Another times many thanks.
