Stripping out images out of logs

[kjs50]

Hello,

My isp provides raw logs but the images are in there. I'd like to remove them at the server level before I download them. I'm on a Windows host. Does anyone have any asp or php scripts that can achieve this. Ideally copy the file to a temp file first and then strip out any image extensions.

Thanks

hmm, the easy way would be to read it line by line and dump any lines that match .jpg or .gif and write any that don't to a new, smaller file.

It wouldn't be the fastest if the logfiles are fairly large though. You could use something as simple as

$logpath = "/path/to/file.log";
$fp1 = fopen($logpath,"r");
$newpath = "/path/to/newfile.log";
$fp2 = fopen($newpath,"w");

while (!feof ($fp1)) {
$line = fgets($fp1);
if (strstr(line,"jpg") $$ strstr(line,"gif")) {
fwrite($fp2,$line);
}
}
fclose ($fp1);
fclose ($fp2);

should work though I didn't test it, as I said it may be slow for large files.

Thank for the code.

I'll try it out and see how it goes.

just noticed a stupid mistake, this

if (strstr(line,"jpg") $$ strstr(line,"gif")) {

should be more like

$test1 = strstr(line,"jpg")
$test2 = strstr(line,"gif")
if ($test1 == false && $test2 == false) {
