You may want to try something like this: grep '^1[012345]/11/2003' <snmp.log>
It should give you what you want in your example. It will basically match on anything in the [] brackets.

My main aim is to see/filter all data in a snmp log file just for mondays-fridays and omitting all the weekend dates. Any help or advice will be graetlu appreciated. regards, seun _________________________________________________________________ On the move?
