<DIV>Responding to my own post of several weeks ago (got side tracked on other tasks).</DIV>

<DIV>Problem was how to use logresolvemerge.pl (from awstats tool on sourceforge) to merge large apache log files then feed into custom log parsing script on win32 system. I hate reading archives without the actual working solution, so here it is:</DIV>
<DIV> or basically, don't forget how the command shell works :)</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>perl logresolvemerge.pl big_file_a big_file_b | perl mycustomparser.pl</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>p.s. I tested for big_file_x of several hundred mb each no problem. logresolvemerge.pl is handy utility, no need for temp file, excessive memory, split utility, etc, etc - granted there is a 1 GB network connection between box where script runs and the two servers with the log files resident. As was pointed out, my problem earlier was using file redirection syntax when all I wanted was a simple pipe -- doh!</DIV>

<DIV>Thanks for the previous tips.</DIV>
