Hello, Thanks for your suggestions. I tried both the codes but still no luck. I am giving the log file contents:

1st log file is having the content: ************************************************************** ----- Tue May 12 11:27:41 2015::20250716:: The application is starting ----- Tue May 12 11:27:52 2015::20250716:: Checking status of application ----- ----- Tue May 12 11:27:52 2015::20250716::Process has exited at Tue May 12 11:27:52 2015 with return value 1. ----- ----- Tue May 12 11:27:52 2015::20250716::Process has exited due to initialization failure. ----- ----- *******************************************************************************

2nd Log File content: ******************************************************************************* 2015-05-12 11:27:45,735 The application could not be started Error is due to invalid username or password! 2015-05-12 11:27:45,866 The application could not be started Error is due to invalid username or password! 2015-05-12 11:27:45,938 The application could not be started Error is due to invalid username or password! *******************************************************************************

The temporary file is having only the following lines (instead of the complete file):

******************************************************************************* 2015-05-12 11:27:45,938 The application could not be started Error is due to invalid username or password! *******************************************************************************

Guess I have to use extract_timestamp and compare_timestamp route?

Regards,

Jay
