On the other hand I tried exec( 'grep "\<title\>" ' .$tmp, $match); I was abe to get the titles. The odd thing was that if for example I had a list of 8 hits there would be dups in the list. Checking it closer I found that grep was stopping at the sub-dir for example two files, same sub-dir: /~hatridge/bulletin/summer03/file1.php /~hatridge/bulletin/summer03/file2.php /~hatridge/bulletin/spring03/file3.php /~hatridge/bulletin/spring03/file4.php The returns would be title1 title1 title3 title3 Any ideas?
