Those are fab, thanks but my problem is that each file will have a different set of computers in it so i cant just search for the computer name. the file is sorted by ip address and thats what i need to search with. Any ideas?
I was thinking a while loop that starts from the ip address and takes one off each time and searches for it. If it doesnt find it at all then it inserts the file at the top?
