little help with bash line formatting needed

[RaginRob]

Hi there,

suppose I have a line that looks like this:

13:47:54.830735 192.168.168.65.54487 85.214.141.246.80: 336

and I want it to look like that:

13:47:54 192.168.168.65 85.214.141.246 336

The first line is already the output of a long expression with a lot of piping and formatting with awk etc., but now I'm somehow stuck with the rest. Can you give me a clue how to achieve it? Thanks for your help!

PS: The command that outputs the lines looks like that at the moment:

tcpdump -n | grep 192.168.168. | grep -v "length 0" | grep length | awk '{print $1,$3,$5,$(NF)}'

sed 's/\.[0-9]\{1,6\}[ :]\{1,2\}/ /g' file

It works perfectly Thanks, that was fast!

Cheers, Rob
