Examples
tclsh parseEFInstallLog.tcl CMDR_installer.log > parsed_CMDR_installer.log -rw-r--r--+ 1 jbowen Domain Users 9268 Sep 21 13:14 parsed_CMDR_installer.log ----------+ 1 jbowen Domain Users 133049 Aug 18 15:07 CMDR_installer.log $ wc CMDR_installer.log 1699 15205 133049 CMDR_installer.log $ wc parsed_CMDR_installer.log 141 967 9268 parsed_CMDR_installer.log
