Hello

Wow thanks again, some progress.
The last bit is still red.
So I deleted that and ran the macro.
I do get a file open dialogue, so I can browse for a file and the
macro runs.
At the end the VB window opens with no text, which I close and see the
completed macro and then
I can do a file file save.

I have to say I am very impressed at how anyone could learn this stuff.
I did some Fortran many many years ago, but was singularly useless at
it.

My day job is a audio engineer. I need to analyse these error logs from
a audio ripping programme.
