Thanks for your fast replies, oh wise ones. The values don't appear on lines by themselves (I think I did mention that). Anyway here's an example of security.txt:

3/15/2004,3:01:18 PM,Security,Success Audit,Object Access ,560,SERVER\ +refterm,SERVER,"Object Open: Object Server: Security Object Type: File Object Name: C:\Program Files\Internet Explorer\IEXPLORE.EXE New Handle ID: 536 Operation ID: {0,178316546} 3/15/2004,1:57:28 PM,Security,Success Audit,Object Access ,560,SERVER\ +Anon000,SERVER,"Object Open: Object Server: Security Object Type: File Object Name: D:\crime\Reader\AcroRd32.exe New Handle ID: 592 Operation ID: {0,177426959}
Just let me say that I have no formal training with Perl (intentionally sounding like William Hung). I had to find a work around for auditing Citrix database publication and suspected that Perl could help. So I looked at a bunch of library books and searched the net which led me to you!

Sincere thanks for your help.
