No, I hadn't spotted that.  Thanks for pointing it out.  I had the archive, 
but must have forgotten to decant it, and was still using 2.0.  BTW, the 
latest of Horst's HORSTnn.ZIP series of archives has been renamed 
PBATS32.ZIP for consistency with the German version.  There's no difference 
in functionality compared to HORST32.ZIP.

Today's, bearing in mind that it uses the date, looks like this;
======================[ BEGIN QUOTE ]======================
fgrep -xs "08 Dec" wimm.log | mawk -f wimmxtrc.awk >> wimm.rpt
=======================[ END QUOTE ]=======================

BTW, remember that I used the same name WIMMTEMP.BAT successively for two 
different things.  This is the first call, which was the problem one.  The 
second one is trivial.  Also, the version I posted last time using LISTMOD 
should generate the same thing.  At least, it seems to work here, and saves 
you downloading LMOD (though in the long term I recommend you upgrade from 
LISTMOD to LMOD; it's more powerful)

Come to think of it, I could have avoided the "fgrep" bit by using 
something like

"logecho $D $N" | getline date

in the AWK script, but I didn't think of that at the time.  Probably I 
didn't know about "getline" back then.

     Regards,

              Robert.
