How can I delete the unwanted birds. Using GNU grep 2.5.4 on Linux: grep -F -f wanted.sat -A 2 weather.txt use_this.tle The file 'wanted.sat' is a simple text file with a list of desired satellites, one per line. Example (using amateur satellites): 8-8-- OSCAR 7 EYESAT-1 JAS-2 PCSAT HAMSAT 8-8-- Grep picks any satellites that matches your listed names, and outputs the name and the two-line data immediately following. It adds a separator line between each, but I've never had a problem. AAMOF (and correct me if I'm wrong) but the TLE format is specifically supposed to ignore additional lines that don't conform to the TLE format. Not running Linux?

Oops, you're right... It was SORTNENG I was thinking of.

John Click MY COMPUTER then C (OS) then PROGRAM FILES then ORBITRON then TLE then noaa and edit that file and click SAVE. You will need to do that every time you update your KEPS.
