Hi everyone, I am reading David Roth's book win32 perl programming. I would like to create a script to run through the event log and search for a particular object. Not only that but I would like the program to look through the actual text of the message looking for something specific. For example lets say a connection from pc anywhere creates event id 300 in the application log. In text of event 300 it says the user on the domain that actually connected. I would like the script to look through the application log for event id 300 and then actually search the text of message for a particular string. Can anyone give me some advice on how to do this. I understand how to load up the eventlog with win32:eventlog but i am not sure how I would begin searching it for particular event id's or even searching the text of the id's Any tips appreciated. Thx, Leon
