          With awk:




          1. if you know "logDurationMillis" is the second item:



            awk -F'[:,]' -v limit=950 '$4 >= limit' file



          2. otherwise



            awk -F'[:,]' -v limit=950 '
            for (i=1; i<NF; i+=2)
            if ($i == "logDurationMillis" && $(i+1) >= limit)
            print
            ' file

          • @Jesse_b: awk (even regular awk) can accept regexps as delimiter, and also extended ones (ex: -F 'this|that[ _]*also' will separate fields with "this" and with "thatalso" or "that also" or "that_also" (and allow even multiple occurences of space or _, as there is a '*' in the regexp). It can be really handy. Here, in this answer, it separates fields with either 1 "," or 1 ":", so it will separate fields at each occurence of "," or ":" . (if the line starts with a separator, $1 is empty and $2 is the next field)

          Assuming your file is named logFile, this command will do it:



          egrep ',logDurationMillis:(9[5-9][0-9]|[1-9][0-9]3,),' logFile





          share|improve this answer



























          • Using a regexp for a numeric comparison results in hard to understand/maintain code. To compare numbers, just use awk with a numeric comparison - there's zero reason to do this with regexps in grep.

          another awk one:



          awk -F':|,' '$4 > 950' file


          prints:



          logAlias:Overall,logDurationMillis:961,logTimeStart:2019-07-24_15:30:06.599,logTimeStop:2019-07-24_15:30:06.660



          Update (due to OPs Question:)



          you can reconstruct the fields like this:



          awk -F':|,' '$4 > 950 print $3 ":" $4 "," $5 ":" $6 ":" $7 ":" $8 ' file


          prints:



          logDurationMillis:961,logTimeStart:2019-07-24_15:30:06.599


          (there is probably a simpler way that concatinates the fields 3-8, but you also need to reconstruct the different field separators)

            (1) This is basically the same as glenn jackman’s answer. (2) The question says “>=950”, but your answer says > 950.

            That double pipe || looks odd. The intervening part would match the empty string too, but what use is that? Why not just :|,?

            @ilkkachu:  Good catch; I missed that.  I suspect that nath meant :|, — as I said, equivalent to glenn’s [:,] — but reflexively typed || for “OR”.  But, AFAICT in six to eight minutes of testing, this answer works.  Can you demonstrate that the extra | actually causes it to fail?

            @G-Man a | immediately following | is undefined behavior per POSIX, see pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/…: | ... A <vertical-line> appearing ... immediately following a <vertical-line> ... produces undefined results.. So that code could do anything in any given awk.

          With awk:




          1. if you know "logDurationMillis" is the second item:



            awk -F'[:,]' -v limit=950 '$4 >= limit' file



          2. otherwise



            awk -F'[:,]' -v limit=950 '

          • @Jesse_b: awk (even regular awk) can accept regexps as delimiter, and also extended ones (ex: -F 'this|that[ _]*also' will separate fields with "this" and with "thatalso" or "that also" or "that_also" (and allow even multiple occurences of space or _, as there is a '*' in the regexp). It can be really handy. Here, in this answer, it separates fields with either 1 "," or 1 ":", so it will separate fields at each occurence of "," or ":" . (if the line starts with a separator, $1 is empty and $2 is the next field)

          another awk one:

          you can reconstruct the fields like this:

          prints:

          • Thanks Nath, 'awk -F':||,' '$4 > 950' file' works :) Actual log file is like logAlias:Overall,logDurationMillis:382,logTimeStart:2019-07-24_15:30:06.075,logTimeStop:2019-07-24_15:30:06.107, UniqueId.... question :How do i get only following fields in result logDurationMillis:961,logTimeStart:2019-07-24_15:30:06.075,UniqueId

          (1) This is basically the same as glenn jackman’s answer. (2) The question says “>=950”, but your answer says > 950.

          That double pipe || looks odd. The intervening part would match the empty string too, but what use is that? Why not just :|,?

          @ilkkachu:  Good catch; I missed that.  I suspect that nath meant :|, — as I said, equivalent to glenn’s [:,] — but reflexively typed || for “OR”.  But, AFAICT in six to eight minutes of testing, this answer works.  Can you demonstrate that the extra | actually causes it to fail?

          @G-Man a | immediately following | is undefined behavior per POSIX, see pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/basedefs/…: | ... A <vertical-line> appearing ... immediately following a <vertical-line> ... produces undefined results.. So that code could do anything in any given awk.

          Thanks Nath, 'awk -F':||,' '$4 > 950' file' works :) Actual log file is like logAlias:Overall,logDurationMillis:382,logTimeStart:2019-07-24_15:30:06.075,logTimeStop:2019-07-24_15:30:06.107, UniqueId.... question :How do i get only following fields in result logDurationMillis:961,logTimeStart:2019-07-24_15:30:06.075,UniqueId
