Pretty close. I had to make a couple of adjustments, and ended up with: gci MSGTRK*.log -name |% { $src_evt_ht = @{} write-host $_ gc $_ | foreach { if ($_.startswith("2")){ $rec = $_ -split ","
$src_evt_ht[($rec[7] + "." + $rec[8])] += 1 } } write-host $src_evt_ht } The "if ($_[0] -neq "#")" was only going to work if each line returned by gc got converted to a char array first. That seemed a little heavy handed processor wise for what I needed it to do. I did a get-member on a test string, and notice that startswith() method which looked promising. I originally tried: if (!($rec.startswith("#"))){ That worked but looked awful. If ($rec.startswith("2")) looked cleaner, and should work for the next 992 years. -----Original Message----- From: Michael B.

So this if ($src_evt_ht.$src_evt){$src_evt_ht.$src_evt = [int]$src_evt_ht.$src_evt + 1} else {$src_evt_ht.add("$src_evt","1")} just needs to be $src_evt_ht[$src_evt] += 1 Regards, Michael B.
