Thanks Sam. That grep pattern is fantastic! We can have a small worksheet with the grep pattern. We’ll search for N-1, then in the worksheet select <Session> and cmd+E, toggle to the data file window and cmd+G to find the next one. 😎
If this becomes a needed routine we’ll create something with XPath.
