Once you unzip the files to some directory, you don't really have to create the one big txt file for searching. Use the "containing text" option of the windows Find -> Files or Folders. This is pretty much equivalent to the UNIX grep command but doesn't have all the options of grep. What we really need is some utility that will search for strings in zip files. Kind of like how the Norton Anti-Virus scan works. I checked out the "yellow bishop" site. They have some pretty neat stuff there. But after reading the faq.txt file in the cccdbnav.zip file I decided not to do that because your reply pretty much has all the pertinent information including dates. I will save your reply off to a text file in case I later want to extract some other post around those dates. Regards. Steve
