sorry! I think your code does it.
Thanks.
Thanks.
$time=$1 if /([\d.]+) s \[\w+\]/;
will check if a line is in the form /([\d.]+) s \[\w+\] before extracting the time.
If you want to be more specific you might use
$time=$1 if /^a name at ([\d.]+) s \[04562b0c\]$/;
will check if a line is in the form /([\d.]+) s \[\w+\] before extracting the time.
If you want to be more specific you might use
$time=$1 if /^a name at ([\d.]+) s \[04562b0c\]$/;
