That's pretty cool, RJOH.

Looks like you have a method all your own.

Well, I was just fishing to see if players needed a parser or not. I guess not.

It comes in handy for me, anyway.

Thanks for posting

I've done that using Notepad but I use find and replace to edit out words like the days,Powerball and Power Play and replace the dash with a common and the month with a number and then save it all as a text file.

Sat, Mar 22, 2008 07-25-28-46-48, Powerball: 19, Power Play: 3

The above becomes:

03,22,2008,07,25,28,46,48,19,3

Then I write a 10 line Basic program that read the above line as a record as follows:

MO$,DA$,YR$,N1,N2,N3,N4,N5,N7,NT$

and write that data to a file

Does anyone make copies of LP's jackpot drawing histories like the one below, then paste them into Notepad and manually delete everything but the actual ball numbers so they can be better analyzed?

From this...
