Hi, nephish.

I've read Brian's letter. He has given a solution for this problem. And 
below is another solution for it.

<code>
StrLog = " ".join([LogsRead[LogsRead.index(line)+1].strip() for line in 
LogsRead if line.strip() == i])
</code>

And I think 'LogFiles[i]' should be replaced by 'i', for 'i' is not an 
index but a string.
