[Help] Spider Forensics


Question

Hello all.

Wondering if someone has a some-what simple solution to this. I run Spider Forensics on one of my file servers and generate a log file. For those who don't know what this program does, it searches for certain content (SSN numbers, CC numbers, etc) in documents and generates a log of the files found. We have multiple departments on my file cluster and I want to automate a way to separate the logs via department as well as email the department their files.

EX:

--Log--

\\fileserver\c$\Department111\confidential.xls

\\fileserver\c$\Department111\peopletofire.xls

\\fileserver\c$\Department111\dont_open.doc

\\fileserver\c$\Department333\bankaccount.doc

\\fileserver\c$\Department555\important.xls

--End--

As you see by my example, there are three departments (111,333,555) If possible, I want to have a contact from Department111 to be emailed their specific log. So Dept111 would get the following list:

\\fileserver\c$\Department111\confidential.xls

\\fileserver\c$\Department111\peopletofire.xls

\\fileserver\c$\Department111\dont_open.doc

I know this may be a little far fetched, but I am not really a programmer at all so I don't know. Even if there is a way to just break them into their own logs, and I can email them, Anything to help automate the process.

Thanks for any help or suggestions,

-Steve

Would be straightforward in Python. Breaking the logs in separate files is trivial, and sending email is easily done via SMTP. I don't have time to do it now but if nobody does it I'll give a hand.

(You could also try learning a bit of Python and do it yourself, it's easy and well-explained.)
