Correct on &quot;base&quot;, all files in that folder, and all subfolders of it will be searched.<br />
<br />
FINDSTR can use regular expressions as search strings, but no easy way to use that to start a search after a date or time in the file.<br />

Ok, lastly, is there a switch to be able to look at multiple servers? <br />
<br />
i have the same log folder setup over different servers so such a switch could assist me in troubleshooting for specific errors<br />
<br />
cheers

No, but just put several lines like the example in a BAT script and change the base folder as needed for each server.<br />
