John, I think your best option is to convert their format to XML and then use the XML to drive your quiz system. Should be pretty straightforward to convert to XML, cause you don't have to worry about exploding stuff. You just have to match patterns and use str_replace. Chris

I suppose. I will have to explode by \n. One of my problems is that with ":QUESTION:{H|T}", the question is on the next line. Exploding by \n puts my question text into the next line_field[].
