Already doing that, another wrinkle of it accepts a third
command line parameter, an output file name.  We then use
another little utility similar to replace to remove the
commas and underscore, changes them to spaces.
Pop in complete address searched for as well, then we can
use HOrst's listmod to pull info from the result out to
another file or to feed another process if desired .
tHis permutation looks for semaphore files at the end of the search
utility's run to continue with what's desired.

OTher wrinkles I"ve created:

Each week when the weekly nodediff is created, after the new nodelist is
built resulting master nodelist copied to a
special subdir, old nodelist nuked first.  nEW nodelist is
modified to remove dos redirection chars.  Batch which
searches and stuffs results in a file will automatically get this name
stuffed into it.

Appreciate your work!!!  Again thanks.

INteresting.  I bet it'll find GOrd's primary address
though, as 1:1 is an aka .


Again thanks a bunch!!!
