Hey all, I have a script that parses my weblog, but it skips some lines cuz they're too long something.
i use this command to find the line numbers that were skipped

(Toggle Plain Text)

cat webdruid.log | awk '/Log file/ {print $5}' | cut -d ':' -f1

now i was planning on just loading all lines individually, and then deleting the lines that matched a number of the output of the awk. But is there a better way of deleting those lines, because there are about 35000 to go through. Although only about 100 to delete.

TIA

Dizz
