Thanks to everyone who has posted a reply so far, I am amazed at just how quick you have been!!

sending FTP_Iconsd.lnk 09/09/2001 20:44:00 (09/09/2001 00:00:00)
receiving IMS - Transferring Returns.doc (new file)

The 2 lines shown above represent the main things I am looking for. "sending " or "receiving ". The filenames can be of any length within normal LFN rules.

All I am trying to do is show a user which files have been sent or received from a logfile.

Again, thanks in advance, I am very impressed!!
