I wouldn't insult your intelligence by writing the script for you, because
this would be extremely easy to do in Perl (my scripting language of
choice).  Simply read the file in, grab the first line and snag and parse
the date, then look for the line with /Average/ in it, grab the average
ping, put them together how you want and append the output to your other
file.  The first 2 chapters of most any perl book (or web tutorial) will
give you the info to get this done in short order.

Gurus, 

I have an input file which has the following data in it, 

############ 20010216_200000 ########### 
220 
190 
180 
190 
210 
180 
190 
190 
190 
180 
The Average time for this ping is: 192 
######################################## 


############ 20010216_203000 ########### 
 The listner is down at this time 
######################################## 

What I would like to do is associate the "Average" time with the collection
time and put it in a seperate file ignoring the rest, in the following
format,

2001::02::16::192 

I hope I am clear on this question. 
Any help or suggestion will be greatly appreciated. 
TIA
