help in doing a somewhat complex macro...

[gev]

hi i want to make a macro that does this:

i have a large number of subfolders under one main folder, i want to create a macro that goes trough every subfolder in this main folder looking for files with the extension xxxxxx.log every subfolder with this .log text file i want it to open the file and search for strings patterns like 'switch: 27388' or 'switch: 24/34 or 'dslam: 25-3-4' if it exist then i want it to create a folder with the string name it found but only the numbers part i.e '25-3-4' move the subfolder where the .log file is found to this new folder and then continue to search in the other subfolders...

ill try to sketch this.

<DIR1> no .log found

<DIR2> -> q2.log found -> open log search for string -> found 'switch: 27388' -> create folder in c:\<27388> -> move <DIR2> to c:\<27388> -> continue the search

<DIR3> no .log found

<DIR4> -> q1.log found -> open log search for string -> found 'switch: 24/34' -> create folder in c:\<2434> -> move <DIR2> to c:\<2434> -> continue the search

<DIR5> no .log found

<DIR6> no .log found

now i have two folders in c: called c:\2434\DIR2\ ...

is this possible in QM2? if so then i'm buying it! looking forward for your help.

gev.
