Redirecting output from a UBR?
I've been given a new task for work in the morning. I have to get in the VPN and telnet to our uBR and pull the cable modem flap list then submit it to the head network engineers. It's a simple copy and paste job on openoffice but now they want me to find modems with a miss count of 50 and over. How I'm doing this is just copy and paste to a gedit then troll over 2000 lines looking for these miss counts and it can take over 2 hours. I'm curious if there is a script or program I could write that can make this job a lot easier and time efficient. I have to have the full cable list and the high miss count list. I can deal with putting the full list together since it doesn't take too long but the miss count eats my morning.

Look at what you do to accomplish this manually from your desktop and/or command line. You should be able to create a shell script that does the same thing without too much trouble. If you are not familiar with bash or other shell languages, then you need to learn how to do that. They are basically interpreted programming languages with variables, loops, i/o, control structures, etc.
Sometimes, real fast is almost as good as real time.
