Modify a substring without altering the string in Bash












-1















I have this string:



14-Nov-2018 10:14:44.775 client IP1#59098: view internal: query: DOMAIN IN A + (IP2)


I want to parse it to delete minutes and seconds from the hour. The result would be the next:



14-Nov-2018 10 client IP1#59098: view internal: query: DOMAIN IN A + (IP2)


I get this string from a file, so It would be perfect if It is achieved with a pipe. My current line is as follows:



cat $dns_logs | grep "$date" | HERE WOULD BE YOUR SOLUTION > $temp_queries


Thanks!

          The whole line can be done as



          awk -v d="$date" '($0 ~ d){$2=substr($2,1,2); print}' "$dns_logs"
