Thanks for your reply - I had thought about limiting the split, but I didn't believe it would enhance performance much. It does appear to help though. The simple reduced split you noted seems to improve performance by about 20%. However, the other snippets you provided don't work. I'm trying to figure out why. They return no matches for files I know exist.

    Odd. Admitted, I didn't test them except for the regex in the last snippet when I posted them, but I did now and they seem to be working. *shrug* There's nothing obvious I can spot either.

      Here is a line from the text file:

      "color.html","NDC","\Reports\NDC Reports",10137,5/29/2002,9:43:42 PM

      If you were to look for the file "color.html", your regex would turn up nothing. I'll play with it a little more this week.
