Well, as for that part, searching it is something I will worry about later. However... to answer your question:

The "Day" field is a three letter abbreviation of the day posted in the following field, "Date". Truth be told, I can't see how it could be useful in any way, or why it would be there first. And, to specify, YES, it is ALWAYS three letters, and followed by a tab... which is good in this case: should be easier to skip programmatically.

What I need to do is generate a monthly compilation of this list (it's a bit more involved, of course). So I would need to start at one date (7/1/2006) and grab everything after that. And of course it would be complicated by the fact that the user may not have anything in the file for that day, so you would have to also check for whatever days there ARE after that date (if they were on vacation, maternity leave, etc).

However, this is intended to be run for the previous month, so it wouldn't get too far out of hand.

Thanks for the code above, I'm going to go over it and try it out right now!
