Cool. I will hunt around for the regex or tags. I could actually care less about the formatting, I am just searching the text for merge fields (not standard word merge fields) just certain patterns.
Thanks for the headsup on that.. if anyone knows off the top of their head where to find such regex or tags, let me know as I would be most appreciative. In the meantime, I will look. Thanks!
