Why don't you do something like this: <servimg:name.jpg:This is the alt text Buddy>
Then search for a regx something like <servimg*> (I am not sure of the exact syntax). Then parse the found tag, generate your <img tag and replace the original tag with the generated tag. I hope it gives you some good ideas. -Jason Garber IonZoft.com At 12:11 PM 10/18/2001 -0400, John A. Grant wrote: >I'm reading some HTML text from a file and echoing it to >stdout.
