If you're doing HTML it's worth looking HTML::TokeParser for a quick and easy and generally reliable means of extracting the contents of the 'bold' element: great POD, too -- this is a slightly adjusted version of an example included in the POD: use HTML::TokeParser; $p = HTML::TokeParser->new(shift||"index.html"); while (my $token = $p->get_tag("b")) { my $text = $p->get_trimmed_text("/b"); print "$text\n"; } Hth -- http://www.bbc.co.uk/ This e-mail (and any attachments) is confidential and may contain personal views which are not the views of the BBC unless specifically stated.
