Yeah, I was thinking of the FWD, but looking at complete log files I see that not every entry is forwarded to someone else. Unfortunately, the only constant between entries is that the next entry starts with the 4 digit time and position (which for this facility is always TMU). The only other constant is the keyword that starts the entry, such as WX: or METERING:. Even to colon isn't constant after the keyword.

I've asked the development team that works on the program to add keyword search to the reports we can generate from the command line, but even if they do it, it'll take over a year to get it in place. The government moves extremely slow when tinkering with stuff they consider "operational" to the National Airspace System, even when it doesn't have any effect on controlling aircraft! Smilie

Thanks again for the suggestions. I'll keep tinkering, but scripting isn't my strong point. I can program in Visual Basic, but that won't work on Linux Smilie
