i have the following file 
blahety blah blah
RS0029.DOC    INTER UNIT HARNESS REQUIREMENT SPECIFICATION

RS0036.DOC    INSTRUMENT ELECTRONICS UNIT 
RS0037.DOC    MECHANISM CONTROL ELECTRONICS
RS0041.DOC    IOU DESCAN MECHANISM

RS0042.DOC    IOU GENERIC MECHANISMS

[download]
i want to extract the filenames, (rs0036.doc) and the titles. i'd like to push the filenames into one array, and their titles into another. (or a hash if i must, but i'm not very good with them). the format is $filename."\t".$title."\n"

i think i want to search each line for a tab character, and then if it does, push the strings each side into the ararays. hopefully then $filename3 should be the document titled $title3

thanks. sorry if this is all obvious, i haven't done much regex.

the easy bit will then to be to generate a html document with a list of links to the files with the link text as their title. matt
