Prepend section dates to individual entries in a summary log file

Searches for dates on lines by themselves. Uses that date to prepend all rows that contain SEARCHSTRING with the date, until it reaches another line with a date by itself. This fixed an issue with a specific log export where there would be a date, followed by all of the entries for that date.

truncate deleted files from lsof

While the posted solution works, I'm a bit uneasy about the "%d" part. This would be hyper-correct approach: lsof|gawk '$4~/txt/{next};/REG.*$deleted$$/{sub(/.$/,"",$4);printf ">/proc/%s/fd/%s\n", $2,$4}' Oh, and you gotta pipe the result to sh if you want it to actually trim the files. ;) Btw, this approach also removes false negatives (OP's command skips any deleted files with "txt" in their name).
