Wow amazing! Thanks.

Can you explain to me what that is doing? I would like to know more about awk and sed.

I found this browsing around that will somewhat do:

B D 20070116095820001 N D S0000579.LOG S0000582.LOG
B D 20070116095750001 N D S0000574.LOG S0000576.LOG

Well the problem is that I get leading spaces before the number...My original solution was to use SED to delete the first 3 and last 3 lines...but I still have the leading spaces..

I need to clarify something...I think your script is going to extract exactly 4 digits....there is a chance the number could be 1,2,3,4 or 5 digits long...will this still work?
