in reply to Can't Write to Files properly

However, I cannot parse the list properly. I can output to display ok, but file writes are messed up.
That is not a very helpful description of your problem.

Actually you have two problems and you should handle them one by one:

  1. Parsing the HTML file into a data-structure. To look into that problem, please define how your data-structure should look and then we can perhaps help you how to achieve that.
  2. Writing the data-structure to a file. I *guess* some kind of templating system would be a good solution here.

    Using the two HTML files will better explain the data structure. The only part I am having trouble with is getting the list parsed. If you run from cmd, you will see how the list should be processed, but the output files mess up the list. I believe the problem is somewhat related to OUTPUT and the array. I have no idea what to do other than start over from scratch.
