Hi Howard,

In reply to your previous message, you are correct in saying that the rules to follow are only as described below.

"The issue is to determine some set of rules (as mentioned before) that can be used to define the start and end of the file name.

You have defined the start:
1) "sending "
2) "receiving "

Now we need to determine the what constitutes the end of the file names.

Your example lists:
1) " 20:44:00 (09/09/2001 00:00:00)" where we will use the format " 99:99:99 (99/99/9999"
2) " (new file)"

Are these the only two formats of text that follow the file name?

If so I can provide you a solution."
