How can I remove lines that do not contain a certain string?


I got a brute-force attack on my website. The log files are 1.4 GB large (4338.995 lines). How can I remove lines that do not contain a certain string in Sublime?

It contains both normal users and brute-force attacks from two different IP addresses (personal info and IP addresses have been changed):

I want to remove lines not containing "163.33.74.115". With search & replace I used:

^((?!163\.33\.74\.115).)*$

But the program didn't do anything even though everything else than the IP was highlighted. How can I do this?


Solution

  • For Sublime use:

    1 - CTRL+H
    2 - Click Regular Expressions (check ps below)
    3 - Find What: ^163.33.74.115.*\n or ^(?!163.33.74.115).*\n for inverted matches
    4 - Replace With: blank
    5 - Click Replace All

    GREP ANSWER:

    The answer above should work fine, but I'd rather use grep, which is bundled with linux and mac, for windows get it here, i.e.:

    1 - All lines except the ones containing 163.33.74.115:

    grep -v 163.33.74.115 original.log > attack.log
    

    2 - All lines containing 163.33.74.115:

    grep 163.33.74.115 original.log > attack.log
    

    Options:

    -v, --invert-match        select non-matching lines
