I need to extract Date, Time, Recipient-Address, Sender-Address and the Subject. So if I search for Auser I want any line (record with his email) to take all the information listed above into a new file. These would be in 3 files (which are generated from MS Exchange 2003) they are Tab delimited. I am new to Perl and need to get this information quickly. Any help would be greatly appreated. Below is a sample of the data in the file that I need searched. These files are Huge in production I chopped them DOWN. Again Thanks Leo
