iwevents log

Hi All,
I am trying to manipulate the iwevents.log file.

Is there a way I can execute the following code on a Windows 2000 platform

$eventlog = `$iwhome/iwgetelog`;
chop($eventlog);
$tailevent=`greg Submit $eventlog |tail -1`;

Basically, it's the last line of code that won't work..

Any suggestions??

Thanks.

I'm assuming the ever popular "greg" command is actually supposed to be "grep". What exactly are you trying to do? What is your ultimate goal? There has to be a better way...

I am trying to get the last event from the iwevents.log file, and split it into an array so I can access certain parts of the line. The information will be used in a script that will replicate files from a child branch to a parent branch...

$tailevent="last event in the log file";

@lastline=split("\t",$tailevent);

$path=@tailevent[4];
$objid=@tailevent[5];
etc...

Sorry for the spelling mistake on the grep command. Does this make sense what I am trying to do??

I have no cluie what useful info you're planning on getting from the iwevents.log file in order to replicate files. But whatever works for you. I would possibly do this a different way, but I don't know how efficient it would be. Read the file into an array and look at the last element in the array. There are probably a number of ways. I still don't get it...

Why don't use "iwatsub"?
