Well, I wasn't since yours more or less worked fine . . . :)


Since the username's repeated on the fileend line really all you've
got to watch for are the filestart and fileend lines.  This is
presuming that lines for different jobs won't be interspersed.


freebie:~ 611> perl -lane '/^file(\S+)/||next;if($1eq"start"){($p)=$F[2]=~/(\d+)/}else{$p=($F[4]=~/(\d+)/)[0]-$p;$F[-2]=~/-n(\w+)/;print"$p $1"}' foo
9 omard


If lines for different jobs could be interspersed then you'd need to
keep a hash of [ user, start, end ] keyed by job id and then post
process it in an END block.


And just for fun . . .


freebie:~ 637> ruby -lane 'next if !/^file(start|end)/;if($1=="start")then$F[2]=~/(\d+)/;p=$1.to_i;else$F[4]=~/(\d+)/;p=$1.to_i-p;$F[-2]=~/-n(\w+)/;print"#{p} #{$1}";end' foo 
9 omard
