Thanks Aengus,
this looks like the sort of thing I want. The reason I want to do this is
that we are having our website audited next month, and I need to produce, in
addition to the raw logfiles which I analyse, a filtered logfile containing
only the lines which I am telling Analog to include. I'm using Windows NT
and IIS version 4, so I'll have a go with your script.
Thanks again,
Phil.
