That sounds reasonable, but how do you programatically determine the starting and ending comments?

    Boy, I wish I knew the answer to that. Like I said, I looked at the page layouts of the web sites I was after and built my config file with the comments to look for - starting and ending.

    Along the lines of what you're after I suppose you could just parse for comments and build a list of comment tags to look for. You had mentioned doing a diff on the files you wanted to look at, so that may be the way to start.

    Useless trivia: In the 2004 Las Vegas phone book there are approximately 28 pages of ads for massage, but almost 200 for lawyers.
