Grep directory name

Question

Need a script to grep within a directory for folders named by emails (so looking for the @) to then search the apache logs to see if the email address grep'ed has accessed the website today.

Then after this I need to look at the user-agents detail to see what browser they are using

Answer 1

for i in `ls emaildir/*@*`
do
grep $i logfile | grep '\['`date +%d/%b/%Y` | awk -F\" '{print $6}' 
done

Where emaildir is the directory of files containing email addresses and logfile is the apache logfile.

What it's doing is this:

• getting each file in the email directory with an @ in the filename
• searching the log file for lines containing that filename
• then searching those lines for today's date in the format used by logfiles
• then splitting the line at quote marks and printing the sixth part, which is the browser string
