Ok if the format matters I guess... Here's why I'm doing this, actually haven't had much time to work on it, only gotten a couple hundred done out of the thousands I have to get. I'm really busy most of the time lol. ______________________________ I'm taking models that look like this - <option value="6199">Patriot 250</option> <option value="6200">Patriot 250 MX</option> I then use replace to remove <option value=", the extra ", and the </option> Leaving me with: 6199>Patriot 250 6200>Patriot 250 These are models of four wheelers. I will be grabbing thousands of these to be plugging in to a model finder on my bosses websites. It will be entered in as HTML once I get them all done. So all I need to do I guess is find some code to replace starting at the beginning of the line up to the >. If using HTML to have the numbers replaced up to the > causes a problem, I can simply change that symbol to anything using the replace feature, so if you know of a code I can use, tell me to change > to whatever it needs to be to get it to work. Thanks for trying to help and communicate so far guys. And as for my boss being able to write the code, he's too busy for that, that's why I came to this forum seeking people who like to write code as projects and just mess with code in general to see if I could be helped to get this to go faster. He's doing a complete overhaul on all of our websites at the moment and is working from home so everyone doesn't bother him about little stuff (this would be classified as more little stuff to him). Edit: I'm not really sure about the format actually... when I'm done with these I'm saving them as CSV (comma separated values) sheets. I think he just has to go in to the master database and upload them. So no it doesn't really matter what format I change it in. The object is just to end up with the model number and get it saved to a CSV sheet for uploading, how I get the numbers off doesn't matter at all.
