    Hm. Each time you post, the target changes:

    1. searches for a particular pattern's(Oct-18-2013)
    2. ABCXXX where xxx could be Jan Feb...... Dec
    3. <XXX>Jan or <XXX>Feb </i?
    Not getting the desired results

    Oh. So what are you getting? And how does that differ from your desires? And how are you doing it?

    Try .... something different. That's the best I can come up with given the complete lack of information you've provided. Good luck.
