Hi Charles, Thank you, It works now, I didn't post all the code as it was too long and those other bits worked.
if( unlink( $srcFile ) ){ $comment = "Successful!!"; $debug->printlog("Process $pid: DELETION " . &basename($srcFile) . "\n$comment"); } else{ $errorComment = "ERROR: " . &basename($srcFile) . " deletion failed:\n"; $debug->printlog("$errorComment"); &abort(1, "$errorComment"); } Regards Colin -----Original Message----- From: Charles K.

There is loop or array in the code above. Nor do we know how you opened the log. Show more code. All of it if its not too long. HTH, Charles K.
