Hi Yourcat,

thanks for your hints.

Good point to use cut instead of sed. But for me it has the same problem as the command includes an additional ':'. If you look into the awk command I aöready have two nested hypens and I have no idea how to add the third once without braking the code.

awk '/.*PageTurnAction*./ || /.*JunoExecutionManager*./  {system("eips ${POS} ${ROW} \"`date +%H:%M`\"")}'

I'm not the best in regexp and awk. I simply copied the line from an other post. That is what the log looks like including a line with the PageTurnAction that triggers the display of the information.
