Vbscript to parse a file

[Jmayhair]

Hi everyone,

I have an application that creates a logfile and I have a need to read this file for errors. Lucky for me the application updates this logfile every 10 minutes and if there is an error it flag it with a value (like a 2 or 1 and 3 being informational).

example of log enter:
08/14/2005 08:00:06 AM 2 00000357 Failed update.

I need this script to read the log and send and e-mail to a dist. list. Does anyone with any code that may help me out here. I'm not a vbscript person

Searching this forum and looking at the FAQs for this forum will provide you with all the information you need. I would suggest searching for 'FileSystemObject' and 'Email'.
