Herb, All this is already possible with R1 using a couple of very simple unix like tools called cat, sort, and uniq. cat is short for concatenate and can be thought of as a souped of version of the dos type command. sort- is a standard dos and unix command which can be used to sort text files. uniq - will eliminate duplicate entries from a sorted list. you can use dosbatch or winbath to automate these procedures easily. for example. @echo off cat mywatch.lst todaysscan.lst \| sort \| uniq > newwatch.lst rename newwatch.lst mywatch.lst or @echo off cat scan1.lst scan2.lst scan3.lst scan4.lst \| sort \| uniq >newscan.lst If you want the 2 utils send me email.
