Find a given event id for a list of computers in a text file

Hi guys.

Im trying to build a script that will do the following.

script.vbs or .bat -e <event_viewer_id> <-h <number_of_hrs> or -a <get_all_events> -l computers.txt -o outputevents.txt

So, for example, if I wanted to get event id 6008 for the last 7 hours,

script.vbs -e 6008 -h 8 -l computers.txt -o outputevents.txt

or to get all events:

script.vbs -e 6008 -a -l computers.txt -o outputevents.txt

Format for the outputevents.txt would be something like:

======================================================== outputevents.txt

----------------------- <computer_name>:
6008      <time_date>   <-------------- most recent first
6008        time_date
6008
etc

----------------------- <computer_name>:
6008      <time_date>   <-------------- most recent first
6008        time_date
6008
etc

----------------------- <computer_name>:
6008      <time_date>   <-------------- most recent first
6008        time_date
6008
etc

Any help on this greatly appreciated.
