Hi Dan,
I'm sorry, but the search engine on the mail archive doesn't work to
me...Everything I search, it always says "There were no matches for ... found
on the website" :-(( Anyway, when I tested htDig in the "html version", it
worked great with patterns between double quotes...I remember that it was one
of the first things I tested...Tomorrow I'll test it again to be sure at 100%
and I'll write the results...if U are on line I'll give U the URL to test it by
yourself...
Bye for now
Pietro
