mirni,

Thanks for this lesson in coding.
I really appreciate it.

You are right it could be much better, but you know how it is, you start with a begin and end time for one set of log entries and then using copy-paste you add and add in order to end up with an ugly looking piece of code.
Plus the time pressure of someone wanting this data.
Then it is too late to change it.

The data I got from this ugly script however was very valuable for some investigation, so it served its purpose.

But I will listen to your advise and will use your examples as training.
