Wow - That was a quick reply. Thank you. I made the changes, but still no dice. Turns out that the IMG tag only exists in the first few pages and I also realized that I can combine both the fixed string and the title/page.

So, here's what I'm working with:

Code:

<a href="http://www.antennahouse.com">Antenna House XSL Formatter (Evaluation)  http://www.antennahouse.com</a><br><hr><A name=14></a>Title <br>12 <br>

and here's my modified RegEx:

Code:

<a href="http://www\.antennahouse\.com">Antenna House XSL Formatter \(Evaluation\)  http://www\.antennahouse\.com</a><br><hr><A name=\d+></a>Title <br>\d+ <br>

However, the Test button doesn't appear to do anything which I assume means my RegEx is wrong. Am I missing some special chars? Is there a list of what needs to be escaped?
