I knew I had to do something equivalant to doubling the output. My first idea was to put a $range2 in so I could get $range and $range2 so I could use $3 and $4 effectively doubling the script at the same time but that would produce the same results. Then I tried to cat the file with the datesearch results in it by piping to the timesearch script just to see if it would work but the 2 PERL scripts only read from the directory and can't read from a file oh just had an idea that I could've done I could've wrapped an AWK script to timesearch so it would read files but that would prob be more trouble than it's worth. I'm in the process of learning PERL so that one was tough for me.

Thanks a lot Mr. Kittrell and Monks
