I use a Filemaker Pro database in my business. We use all Macs with macOS. 
I need to send out a spreadsheet from time to time with wholesale prices to 
some customers, and keep my website current with retail prices. I export a 
.tab file from the database to a spreadsheet .xlsx that has several 
columns; part numbers, descriptions, wholesale and retail prices. I can 
email this spreadsheet to wholesale customers. Then, from Excel I want to 
export to .html to post on the website after converting to a .php file.

The .php file will look up prices in another .tab file on the website. That 
file is just a table with part numbers and retail prices for everything I 
sell. I can update the prices on that file from time to time as needed just 
by creating a new one from the database.

The .php file people will see on the web site will have three columns 
displayed on the website; Part number, description and retail price. I'm 
hoping I can use BBEdit to copy the part number from the first column into 
the .php code in the third column. That way, when I update prices in my 
database I can easily update both the wholesale price list spreadsheet, and 
the .php web pages. When I look at the code on file to be published on the 
web, I want to see only the .php code and the part number in the third 
column of the table. I should only see the retail price in that column when 
it's viewed in the web browser.

The problem is, I'm reading the BBEdit manual about grep and my head starts 
to spin. So I'm hoping that someone here can point me to a quick and easy 
bit of code that will do the job.

Thank you,
