Hi,

 This is usually what I do...

 -----------------------------
 #!/usr/bin/perl

 my $startDate;

 while (<>) {
     if($_ =~ 
 /StartWeekLabel.*?>([\d]{4})\/([\d]{2})\/([\d]{2}).*?<\/span>/i) {
         $startDate ="$1$2$3";
     }
 }

 print "$startDate\n";
 ------------------------------

 Call the script with the text file as a parameter "perl myscript.pl 
 mytextfile.txt"
 If you want to search multiple files just add them as well "perl 
 myscript.pl mytextfile.txt mytextfile2.txt etc"

 /Michael
