Wowza! It works! Thanks so much, I've been scratching my head on this problem for a couple days. I think it might help if you wouldn't mind to explain the formatting line by line and what it is doing. I think the logic in my head from my first attempt at the awk statement got scrambled. I think it would help to hear exactly what it was doing.
Also, if I may add a twist...
How would we add in a condition that if it was the last entry for the station, that the close statement date and time would be 12/31/2500 23:59:59? Is there something easy to add in that would do that? Or should I add in some code after this iteration to change the date and time.
For example, for the text sample I gave then it would look like this:
So in effect, it would do what we have done by swapping the times on any of the previous ones (which your code works great for), but then if it was the last station entry (for each station) it would swap it's time for 12/31/2500 23:59:59...make sense?
