TB has saved me an incredible amount of time for 3000 auctions and counting... Anyway, the most frustrating thing is that eBay keeps changing their end of auction notice format! Here are two regex that I use for their latest EOA notice to sellers: %setpattregexp="(?i-s)(Buyer\:\s+)(.+\:)(.+)"%RegExpBlindMatch="%TEXT"%SUBPATT="3" %setpattregexp="(?i-s)(Item Name\:\s+)(.+)"%RegExpBlindMatch="%TEXT"%SUBPATT="2" jon -- jwayne [EMAIL PROTECTED] ________________________________________________ Current version is 1.61 | "Using TBUDL" information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html
