Being the pushy bugger I am I wrote to lexacorp asking if they had plans to add a command line interface to their LineStrip program that I mentioned before here . Well, the chap that programs it replied that he would put it on his list of things to do and then the next day sent me a new version saying he had got a bit ambitious. It works fine and he has put the new version on his web site. I highly recommend this program for stripping out lines of text that interest you in big text files.

Now the command line interface works I have written a script that manages my logs nightly, splits out files of specific types of activity that might interest me and write and email me a report that is waiting for me in the morning when I get to work. Cuts an hour or two off my day every day.....
