OK, sorry for the lack of clarity. I was trying to be general so I could elarn it and use it for the future. Here's what I am trying to do. I have a file with multiple records in it. I need to look for some text FOLLOWING a tag of some kind, let's say the tag PRIV: I want to pull out the next "field" following the PRIV: tag. For example: record_1 text_1 text_string2 blah blah PRIV: 132.634.757.245 blah blah blah record_2 text_1 text_string2 text_string3 blah blah blah blah blah record_3 text_1 text_string2 text_string3 blah blah blah blah blah record_4 text_1 text_string2 blah blah PRIV: 274.34.71.25 blah blah blah record_5 text_1 text_string2 blah blah blah blah blah blah blah blah I want to read in a file and see if it finds the stuff following the PRIV: In case you haven't guessed, the number following the PRIV: is an IP address. Hint: think of private chat rooms... Thanks for any more ideas and suggestions! By the way, on a completely different project: I need a topnotch perl/database programmer for several projects I'm working on. Please let me know a self assessment of cgi/perl/database knowledge and experience, cost structure and availability. I need to begin a major project, soon. Thanks again!
