Hello,

I have a log file like this :
[...]
HTCHAD06A,00C04F0CC49B,2005/07/07 10:43:59
HTCHFT10,005070023E6D,2004/11/18 17:17:52
HTCOPD01,000629A6EF36,2005/07/07 16:03:24
HTCPED01,0000395FEAD2,2004/12/21 14:28:26
[...]

And I need to sort it with a batch file by date ( from the oldest to the
newest).

I don't know how to do this...
Could someone help me ?

Thanks
Gus.

Hi Jerold,

Thanks for the script. It's grat help.

It works perfectly.
But if I give another name than SortMyLog.bat to the file, an error message
appears. :
" Maximun setlocal recussion level reached"

I can't figure out why... Do you know ?

Thanks again,
Gus.

I can't imagine.

If you named it with an embedded space, you must use " marks to encapsulate any reference to it.

Did you by any chance try to call it SORT.BAT or SORT.CMD?
(if so, this conflicts with the SORT command in the Batch file)

Always avoid giving a Batch file any name that conflicts with an
internal or external command.
