Sorry, but there are at least two things wrong with that code (aside from using regexes to parse HTML...): It does not re-number the entries as the OP specified, and `sort @la;` does nothing (should be `@la = sort @la;` instead, warnings would have told you about this). So really the only effect of this code is to remove any non-`<foo>` tags from the input and re-format it slightly.	[reply] [d/l] [select]
