Nicely darn, Karl. Please do post your perl script to the list. If you'd rather send it directly to interested parties, please include me in that list.
I'm just starting in on perl and VB Script, because (sigh) I have indeed been using find.exe as a crutch. For example, I call this script all too often to split out my "from" lines in the log to check out issues or track a message without looking at every line. I have a very similar one for subject lines: @echo off if exist from.txt del from.txt >nul echo Filtering by from... for %%a in (dec*.log) do find /i "From: " < %%a >> From.txt echo FROM count= find /i /c "From: " < From.txt Counting the result is a nicety. I usually do this on a subset of my logs after copying them to my workstation. Andrew 8) -----Original Message----- From: IS - Systems Eng.

FIND will work, but I'd have to wash my hands afterwards. My computer is supposed to do my work FOR me, on a daily basis, and mail me my checks at home ! ( I wish ! )... Just write up a quick PERL/WSH/Shell script to parse the info, then schedule it with AT to run whenever you want. I wrote mine up a few weeks ago. If people want I'll post it. It's in PERL, so you'll need active PERL installed, and you might need to tweak it for your local settings. It's not as clean as Scott or another professional programmer might make it, but it's quick, dirty, and gets the job done.

There are several ways that you can do this. For example, you can do a directory of the \IMail\spool\spam directory, where the held E-mails are. To find out how many are to you, you can use "find" with the /C switch. -Scott --- Declude JunkMail: The advanced anti-spam solution for IMail mailservers.
