At present, I'm doing it in Perl (and that's probably adequate for what I need to do). Contemplate a document such as one returned by this command: wget -O /tmp/houses.html \ "http://www.realestate.com.au/cgi-bin/rsearch?a=qfp&cat=House&p=200&s=wa&o=p&t=res&id=6285}"; That will produce a list of homes available for purchase in a region become famous for Fine Wines. The document has a heap of junk top and bottom, and some identifiable material between the descriptions of individual homes. What I suggest is that split be enhanced to provide a means of splitting based on content.Have you looked at csplit?
Never heard of it. How about we agree the resolution might be to cross-reference the two (and maybe cut) in their documentation? Thanks for the quick response. -- Cheers John _______________________________________________ Bug-coreutils mailing list [email protected] http://lists.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/bug-coreutils
