this is the text string you would find if you used vi on the word doc, or
is this the text string if you open the file in openoffice (or kword etc.)?

ok this is just a quick and dirty script, you could prolly do better with
a little perl or something, email me off list when you get a chance
script:

#!/bin/bash
#first lets get a file list to work with
#this assumes your files are located in /home/castlebb/logfiles
#directory and that your 2001 etc. dirs are underneath
files=`find /home/castlebb/logfiles/`
#now for each of these files we want to do stuff, thus the for loop

for file in $files ; do
# testing to make sure we aren't trying to grep a dir
        if [ -f "$file" ] ; then
        grep -H "\&\#8220\;LSTMIS1\&\#8221\;" $file >> /home/castlebb/logcheck1
        fi
done
# go ahead and print for your pleasure
# the log file is saved and you would have to delete it by hand
# to clear it
cat /home/castlebb/logcheck1 | more
#last line of script
