Thanks, I see what you did and I will give that a try!  I may not get back to this little project till tomorrow but I will try and give you a quick up date to how it goes.

Thanks again!

It's a hack, and there is probably a nice(r) way of doing it, but try:

logstring = logstring:sub(3):gsub("%z", "")

It will at least remove the zeros that stop it from printing, but if
you have non-latin characters then they might get messed up.
