What initial list? I see no code, no data, no semblance of a question, only a vague goal.

You have an idea of what you need to accomplish, but you haven't communicated that, and you're asking: How? Well how what? I know what I mean. Why don't you?

On my linux machine, there is a certain command which outputs the name and details of the newest version. What I want to know is that how can this name be embeded into a different file which contains my html code; so that, if the newest version name is not in the list, it is included. I was under the impression that RegExp will help me aceive this, however do let me know if you suggest otherwise.

Monk and RegExp don't have ESP
