Ok here is the best I can do.

So the top row will be the time the data was captured and the column is the date it was capture. Now like I said I have tons of txt files that are saved by the time and date. so if a person searches for "Doug" the script is going to search all of the text files for the name doug and print that in the table. when it opens up the file name 20:00-Fri-Sep-24-2010.txt it should place the data from the name Doug in the column 20 and the row Sep 24. So for one day there is 24 text files for each different hour of the day. Every different day is a different row in the chart. Again thanks for all your help, I hope this explains it so that you can understand it.
