Sorry, hit the wrong key.....

I have a new project that I am working on, my boss decided to morph a
previous project and add something new to it now. I have a file that
I
have is created through login and logout scripts. The following is
the
layout for the CSV file.

machine1 * * * * user1 * * * *09/03/2008 * * *10:15:27.20 * * Login
machine2 * * * * user2 * * * 09/03/2008 * * *10:28:44.87 * * Login
machine3 * * * * user3 * * * 09/03/2008 * * *10:32:51.23 * * LogOut

I need to be able to loop through this data and create a web page that
say changes the color of their name to either red or green for in the
office or out. I am pulling the data from the file based on the
current date. So I can have multiple logins and multiple machines even
per user. My boss is thinking that I need to look at matches, same
machine, user and ignore those and then that will leave potentially a
login (still in the office).

Thoughts on the best way to sort through this and come up with the end
result.

TIA.
