Thanks for looking at that, and I can see how that works, which it would, at least on most of them if I've been consistent in the html* (* I probably haven't)

But taken the advice of the parser. Tried using the one recommended in the first reply, but it wouldn't install, so went with HTML::Parser, which I've used before

Don't find it ideal for printing out again, but that's probably my skill level, but it definitely shows learning (relearning in this case as I've used it before quite a while ago) the right tool for the job pays dividends as got the job done in less time in the end

Thanks again
