'X' as "in iterate over a list of file names, as in 'I need to batch process a large amount of HTML puke split across several files." > Completely lost... Sorry ;-) Someone generated for me a whole lot of .html that contain benchmark results. I don't want to cut-n-paste each of the data points from the HTML pages. The only sane alternative needs REs that cross \n. I.e. sam. Preferably in batch mode, as I have more than a few of these files to deal with. Now that I have fixed my RE and 'x' stupidity, I need to solve interactive mode. --lyndon
