Dave... again you have enlightened me... I have incorported this little sniplet into the previous (4) finds before printing $desc... works great!!! Once again... a major thanks from me to you...

The only line I don't quite understand is this one : 

if ($desc =~ m/\$(\d{1,3},?[\d{3},?]*\.?\d{0,2})/) {

It's looking to match any decimal- but I don't get the (1,3) or the (3},? --- does it mean any decimal up to 3 places prior to the comma??? I tried using a 15001-999999 search criteria and it doesn't seem to like the 6 decimal places...

Your help is tremendous... I owe you one....
