Here's a filter that will do what you want.

Thanks, Matthew, and on a Saturday too, that has saved me hours of work!

Thanks too for the grep suggestions, but the problem there is (and I failed to make this clear) there can be hundreds of lines between one number and the next. I could see no way of dealing with the problem with grep, short of a tortuous loop, and that seems to be confirmed.

What I really need is a BB spread-sheet for manipulating text, but I expect all the people at BB can write perl in their sleep and see no need to play down to the dumbest segment of the market.
