hey, thanks a lot for both responses, i tried messing around with tokeparser and i wasn't seeming to figure that out.

However, I've been encountering a problem with the starting code you sent in the second message (btw i am really grateful that you got me started, even though its been less than an hour of snooping around, i've been more perl stuff since i know what to focus on) only gets the LI tags after the !-- Index End --.

I am still going to snoop around, but if you have any previous experience, what do you think could be making it not see the first large list i have?

Thanks again, shahbazq
