is there a simple way in perl, python, or awk/shell/pipe, that gets
the user agent field in a apache log?

e.g. the typical line is like this:

189.139.109.235 - - [07/Apr/2008:00:00:16 -0400] "GET /
Periodic_dosage_dir/lacru/manara.html HTTP/1.1" 200 1933 xahlee.org
"http://xahlee.org/Periodic_dosage_dir/lacru/manara2.html" "Mozilla/
5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; es-ES; rv:1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080311
Firefox/2.0.0.13" "-"

I want the part: "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; es-ES; rv:
1.8.1.13) Gecko/20080311 Firefox/2.0.0.13".

Thanks.

Something like:
# cut -d '"' -f 6 < httpd-access.log

Simple.

#!/usr/bin/perl

use strict;
use warnings;

my $line = <<EOL;

$line =~ s/^\s+//;
$line =~ s/\s+$//;

if ( $line =~ /"([^"]+)" "[^"]+"\z/ ) {
print "User agent: $1\n";
}

Doesn't it feel like autosplit mode never gets any run time?

perl -laF'"' -ne'print $F[5]' access_log
