I finally made time to test your solution, and thanks very much for your input. Nice work! While I don't think my situation warrants using your code, I may well use it in future if I have a more complex problem to deal with, and I appreciate the time you took to demonstrate this method.

BTW: The single line processing requirement I gave was about the way I wanted to treat the htmlfile, rather than the number of lines of code.

Thanks again.
