of course, but at the risk of being considered unhelpful, I won't simply write it for you... try it yourself. here is a list of steps tho: 1 - write a movie handler that takes two variables as parameters - the results of the getNetText operation where you got the text file from the web and the email address you are searching for 2 - get the number of lines in the text file variable 3 - use a repeat loop to go thru the data a line at a time 4 - check to see if the data 'contains' the email address 5 - if not then continue looping until you either do find it, or you have looked at all the lines 6 - if you do find it, 'return" the contents of the line here's some keywords to look up in the docs to point you in the right direction: contains, repeat with, lineCount, line...of, return try writing something yourself & then I'll try to help you figure it out: HTH Al Hospers CamberSoft, Inc. al<at>cambersoft<dot>com http://www.cambersoft.com Shockwave and Director development, Lingo programming, CGI scripting.
