The other is to treat the link as being obfuscated.

Thanks. I guess that is all the fun in this. Some of the feeds are hard as crap to figure out then others are easy. I think the easy ones tend to be more designed by professionals that actually take the time to follow general organizational patterns that's my thought. But in some cases I could be simply a sight trying to make it impossible to parse... Anyway thanks again and I did do that stuff in ultraedit and I love it. What I do is keep the actual myrecipe.txt open and then when i run the batch it tells me that the myrecipe.txt has been modified so i hit yes and see the changes. I really find that to be great. And I have also used the search feature to find where others did things like splits and remove and so on.
