in thread Easy question i'm sure about formatting

thats the output format i'm looking for, just that the data is coming from a logfile. the script takes a URI from STDIN and parses the file based upon the fields of each line. so if i typed in: /profileQuery i get these results:
URI Date Seconds Fil +e Size ----------------- --------------------- ------- --- +------ /profileQuery [06/Apr/2004:13:40:36 0 +893 URI Date Seconds Fil +e Size ----------------- --------------------- ------- --- +------ /profileQuery [06/Apr/2004:13:41:12 0 +867 URI Date Seconds Fil +e Size ----------------- --------------------- ------- --- +------ /profileQuery [06/Apr/2004:13:41:23 0 +883
while that is ok if there are just a few entries for that URI in the log, not so much if there are several hundred. i found some documentation for the field specifiers.. but those were for Perl 6 and didnt work. here is a snip of the code that looks at the log fields
while(<DB>) { $Recs = $_; chomp($Recs); ($IP, $Host, $Dash, $Date, $TZ, $Method, $URL, $Pro, $Status, $Tim +e, $Size) = split(' ', $Recs); if($URL eq $SearchFor) { $SuccessCount = $SuccessCount + 1;
