Howdy!

First off, jeffa++!

So, Tricky, you say you are investigating the use of regexp to parse HTML. Have you yet considered the outcome of that investigation to be "don't do that"? You seem fixated on finding a contrary answer despite the cogent arguments repeatedly adduced against the use of regexen.

Are you really that dense?

I don't know whether you came up with the question to investigate or if you had it thrust upon you. In either case, you need to step way back and reevaluate whether or not you *can* do what you propose. It's not a sign of stupidity to discern that the proposed task just cannot be done. It is one to stubbornly persist even after it has been shown to be not doable.

Which shoe fits you?

yours,
Michael
