My apologies, I don't see how to attach a workbook to this post. Below is some sample code, as would be contained in column A. I tried to pick lines that would contain examples of all the different ways the data could be presented. No, there will not always be an eq 80. Best, I can tell, these are the absolutes:
If a line has the word "remark" in it, it won't have anything at the end of the line All other lines will contain a 10 character "0x" string at the very end Lines that stand alone, or are breakouts of another line, will contain a "(hitcnt=xxx)" string before the 0x string to indicate how many times they have been used. access-list BldA-I line 313 remark 10/20/2011 permit tcp host user1 host user2 range 1433 1434 access-list BldA-I line 314 extended permit tcp host user1 host user2 range 1433 1434 (hitcnt=0) 0xe306fa2b access-list BldA-I line 315 remark 10/20/2011 permit tcp host user3 host user2 range 1433 1434 access-list BldA-I line 316 extended permit tcp host user3 host user2 range 1433 1434 (hitcnt=0) 0xc1268fad access-list BldA-I line 317 remark 10/20/2011 permit tcp host user4 host user2 range 1433 1434 access-list BldA-I line 318 extended permit tcp host user4 host user2 range 1433 1434 (hitcnt=0) 0xee50e46b access-list BldA-I line 319 remark 10/20/2011 permit tcp host user5 host user2 range 1433 1434 access-list BldA-I line 320 extended permit tcp host user5 host user2 range 1433 1434 (hitcnt=0) 0xb8fb5f62 access-list BldA-I line 321 remark 10/20/2011 permit tcp host user6 host user2 range 1433 1434 access-list BldA-I line 322 extended permit tcp host user6 host user2 range 1433 1434 (hitcnt=134) 0x134db637 access-list BldA-I line 323 remark 10/20/2011 permit tcp host user7 host user2 range 1433 1434 access-list BldA-I line 324 extended permit tcp host user7 host user2 range 1433 1434 (hitcnt=121) 0xfdcbb633 access-list BldA-I line 325 remark 10/20/2011 permit ip host pc1 object-group LAN1 access-list BldA-I line 326 extended permit ip host pc1 object-group LAN1 0x45b67f42 access-list BldA-I line 326 extended permit ip host pc1 10.9.9.0 255.255.255.0 (hitcnt=1986) 0x92e0ec3f access-list BldA-I line 326 extended permit ip host pc1 72.88.125.0 255.255.224.0 (hitcnt=2) 0xb5a1039f access-list BldA-I line 327 remark 10/20/2011 permit ip host pc2 object-group LAN1 access-list BldA-I line 328 extended permit ip host pc2 object-group LAN1 0x616f74d2 access-list BldA-I line 328 extended permit ip host pc2 10.9.9.0 255.255.255.0 (hitcnt=0) 0xf86f7331 access-list BldA-I line 328 extended permit ip host pc2 72.88.125.0 255.255.224.0 (hitcnt=0) 0x67724065 access-list BldA-I line 329 remark 10/20/2011 permit ip host pc3 object-group LAN1 access-list BldA-I line 330 extended permit ip host pc3 object-group LAN1 0x37e5896 access-list BldA-I line 330 extended permit ip host pc3 10.9.9.0 255.255.255.0 (hitcnt=0) 0x8ef8fef3 access-list BldA-I line 330 extended permit ip host pc3 72.88.125.0 255.255.224.0 (hitcnt=0) 0x60499291 access-list BldA-I line 331 remark 10/20/2011 permit ip host pc4 object-group LAN1 access-list BldA-I line 332 extended permit ip host pc4 object-group LAN1 0x19a0e9c5 access-list BldA-I line 332 extended permit ip host pc4 10.9.9.0 255.255.255.0 (hitcnt=0) 0x78a7035 access-list BldA-I line 332 extended permit ip host pc4 72.88.125.0 255.255.224.0 (hitcnt=0) 0x21453036 access-list BldA-I line 333 remark 10/20/2011 permit ip host pc5 object-group LAN1 access-list BldA-I line 334 extended permit ip host pc5 object-group LAN1 0xac297a76 access-list BldA-I line 334 extended permit ip host pc5 10.9.9.0 255.255.255.0 (hitcnt=0) 0xe378f504 access-list BldA-I line 334 extended permit ip host pc5 72.88.125.0 255.255.224.0 (hitcnt=0) 0xb25942c5 access-list BldA-I line 335 remark 10/20/2011 permit tcp host user10 host pc5 access-list BldA-I line 336 extended permit tcp host user10 host pc5 (hitcnt=0) 0xc97b61c2 access-list BldA-I line 337 remark 10/20/2011 permit tcp host user11 host pc5 access-list BldA-I line 338 extended permit tcp host user11 host pc5 (hitcnt=1) 0xb8565ac7 On Oct 24, 2:09 pm, Sam Mathai Chacko <samde...@gmail.com> wrote: > So does that mean that all your lines will always have the eq 80 in it?
