merging daily logfiles

[Oliver Spiesshofer]

Hi,

I switched the server my webpage was hosted on and now the logfile format
is different.

the old one are daily logfiles, in the format

mydomain.net.ac cess_log.01Feb2 004

now I would like to merge all of them into one big one, so my weblog
software (awstats) can read them in one go, and maybe even copy them
together with the new one. The format of the log is the same. What would be
the best way to do that?

thanks

Oliver

On a unix system:

$ cat mydomain.net.ac cess_log.??Feb2 004 > access_log.Feb2 004

will merge all the february logs (though with no real respect to the order
they should be merged in) by concatenating them end-to-end.
