If you have got a decent operating system (ie not Windows) you can easily set up a script to parse the log through awk and show the date - # datedlog.sh awk '$1 ~ /Sun|Mon|Tue|Wed|Thu|Fri|Sat/ { DATE = $3 "/" $2 "/" $5 } { print DATE , $0 } ' $INFORMIXDIR/log/online.log | more Note : All brackets are curly. This a bit rough and ready. I will try and repost with the month in numeric using associative arrays when I am not so busy, unless Jack rises to the challenge in the mean time. Order of printing the fields might heve to be changed depending on US or European date format. Colin Bull c.bull@videonetworks.com
