Hello,

I have managed to get my script finished in the end by taking bits from eve=
ryone who answered.  Thank you so much.  the finished query string looks li=
ke this (still not the best but it gets the job done.  Once I learn to code=
 more with Python I will probably go back to it and re-write it):-

# Log file to work on
filetoread =3D open("/tmp/pdu.log", "r")
# Perform filtering in the log file
text =3D filetoread.read()
text =3D text.replace("<G_", "")
text =3D text.replace(".", " ")
text =3D text.replace(r"(", " ")
filetoread.close()
# File to write output to
filetowrite =3D file("/tmp/pdu_filtered.log", "w")
# Write new log file
filetowrite.write(text)
filetowrite.close()
# Read new log and get required fields from it
filtered_log =3D  open("/tmp/pdu_filtered.log", "r")
filtered_line =3D filtered_log.readlines()
for line in filtered_line:
	field =3D line.split(" ")
	field5 =3D field[5].rsplit("_", 1)
	print field5[0], field[14], field[22]
print "Done"
