egrep "${mFirstPart}${mPrevHH}|${mFirstPart}${mCurrHH}" input_file

Shell Life,
Nice script. That might fit my needs a little better actually. That way I can just cron it to run on the hour and it will find everything for the previous (take out egrep and just grep on ${mPrevHH}.. I notice you use the typeset in a lot of your scripts.. I'll do some reading on that see what I can learn.

Thanks for the input. This forum has been very beneficial to me teaching me scripting... hopefully one day I can contribute as much as you guys do Smilie

Edit: Quick question:
What is this part doing?
Code:
mFirstPart='^... .. '

Looks like some sort of regexp matching from the start of the line?? Thanks for your help.
