Format the "stats" parameter of rsync

I am very new to scripts, but I am writing a little rsync script for my NAS. I am now trying to edit the output of the rsync "stats" parameter.

Because this parameter give a lot of details, and I only need the final results, I start by only keeping the part I want : 

sed -e '/Number/,$!d' $log > tmp && mv tmp $log

So that output for now looks like this :

So then I would like to remove the kind of timestamp from each line : 

sed -e 's,.*] ,,' $log > tmp && mv tmp $log

So now it looks like this (in Outlook, as I send this result by email) :

enter image description here

So then, I thought I could add a new line. I have tried multiples possibilities, but it doesn't work the way I would like. I can't show you a 3rd picture though.

Would you have any suggestion for me :) ? Thanks for your help !

Solution

  • Thanks Lars for your answer. Your code did what I wanted, but the problem persisted.

    Lucky me, I found my problem with outlook : https://naveensnayak.wordpress.com/2012/08/30/ms-outlook-messing-up-line-breaks/

    So instead of adding a new line, I made a very little change to my code : 

    sed -e 's,.*], ,' $log > tmp && mv tmp $log

    Because there is a whitespace after my bracket (]), and that I add a 2nd whitespace, now my file looks nice in Outlook.
