Thank you all for the great help. The markers are not the only text on the line. For example one of the file has these lines: "<\td class="health" height="99%"> <-- #BeginEditable "category" class="category" -->MEDICAL {carriage return} BENEFITS</\td></\tr> <\tr valign="top"> <\td height="99%" class="mainbody"> " (The extra slashes are to display the html code as is) The beginning marker for this is <-- #BeginEditable "category" class="category" --> and the ending marker for this is <-- #EndEditable --> i.e. I have to discard everthing after the beginning marker but not the marker or any thing before itself. I have to discard everything before the end marker but not the end marker or anything after that. I think I will try figuring this out myself. If anybody can find some time to post the code, I would be greatful. Thank You for the great help.
