Yeah saw that but cant get it to work, here is what i have

Sub RegExpRep(Phrase)
Set objRegEx = New RegExp
objRegEx.Global = True
objRegEx.IgnoreCase = True
objRegEx.Pattern = &quot;<(.|\n)+?>&quot;

Set Matches = objRegEx.Execute(Phrase)

For Each Match in Matches
Response.Write Match.value
Next

End Sub


strPath = Server.MapPath(&quot;test1.html&quot
Set objFSO = CreateObject(&quot;Scripting.fileSystemObject&quot
Set objTextStream = objFspenTextfile(strPath)


tempHTML= objTextStream.readall


RegExpRep temphtml

it doesn't quite work that way. you're trying to write HTML tags to the screen but they will indeed not be written to the screen but interpruted by the browser and set back as regular HTML tags. reaplce the < > with chr codes to see what I mean. either that or that is jsut where your confusion is and what you have is what you want

change your response.write to read
response.write replace(replace(Match.Value,&quot;<&quot;,&quot;&quot,&quot;>&quot;,&quot;&quot

then you'll see what I mean

That worked great. Now say some of the emails are seperated by spaces or '
Is it possible to include that in the code or would I have to repeat the process for each variation

[onpnt]

emails?? what is the script being used for and where do the spaces and ' come into the picture?

Example a text file with emails in it, but they are interspace thru the file with no consistent format except they are separated by either ' or <>

http://www.intouch-media.co.uk

 

[onpnt]

so your data is stored as
<blah@blah.com>
<blah@blah.com>
'blah@blah.com'

or is it

<>blah@blah.com<>blah@blah.com'blah@blah.com'


hoestly to make things easy on myself if I had to perfomr this task I would just replace the ' instances with the <> before running the reg pattern match on it.
