I do note and appreciate the time you devoted to understanding my problem and replying.
I now have a script that gets the fundamentals of what is needed. The next step is to just filter out some of the lines that grep wrote making the remaining lines stand out a bit better.
I am trying to understand some of the other posts now.
BW-userx,
I am looking at your last post. Its taking me a bit to follow it but so far looks good. I cannot copy/paste from the internet computer to my Linux box so must type everything in an work it one step at a time. This might take a bit but I am working on your reply.
Thank you.

take your time copying like that is not easy, and it as my pleasure. I hope it works for you. you can remove or comment out what you're not sure of or wanting to wait to try, and change it to fit your needs.
wait let me see if I can upload it for you. Hope you can get that. just remove the .txt chmod +x and adjust as needed, then give it a shot.
modded:
I modified the file some, moved a chunk of code up a bit to make finding easier. it still does the same either way. It prob makes it run faster at the one point I moved the code to, if you have a lot of files to look at, I am only using 5 test files for shell scripts.
