Analyzing Log files of very large size

[Korolev Sergey]

I think, that proper tools usually highly depends on desired
result, so my reasoning is quite general. 

People here advise to use
Perl and also split one large file into managable pieces - all that is
very good, I vote for that. 

But I don`t know Perl at all, so I usually
get along with standard shell utilities: grep, tr, awk, sed, etc. I used
to parse big maillogs with them successfully.
