Your help has been terific, thank you! I understand this better now. The next thing I want to do though kind of extends this...

He0Title1~~Te1~~Te2~~Te3~~Te4~~He1Title1~~Te5~~Te6~~Te7~~Te8He1Title2~~Te9~~Te10~~Te11~~Te12~~

Instead of getting what is between HeX and ~~ I need to get what is between Te and ~~, between the two HeX.

So in this case, i'd have an array 1,2,3,4, an array 5,6,7,8 and an array 9,10,11,12.

/Te(.+?)~~/ gets what is between Te and ~~ (not always digits)

What I cannot do is get what is after the ~~ of each HeX, up to the next one (if there is one).../~~(.+?)He/ does until the next He, but at the end of the string there is no He so it misses that bit off.

Can anyone show me how to do that? Thank yous for your help. Stephen.
