Well, if the log file is small enough you can just loop through the file and increment an index at every pass and that should be good enough for small logfiles. For large logfiles, especially if you want to look at high numbered ranges, I wouldn't use perl. In that case I would use our old friend sed. There is an MPW implementation for sed for per-OSX macs and with OSX you can use the standard Unix sed. For sed questions you can e-mail me off list(way too OT, I think>:). Best Regards, Adam
