I can easily grab this test page http://www.gold-forum.com/table.html using this script. (shown below) http://www.gold-forum.com/grab2.php When I try replacing $GrabStart = "<body>"; with your $GrabStart = "(<table[^>]+>.*){6}(<table[^>]+>)([ ]*)(<tr[^>]*>)(.*){2}(<tr[^>]*>)(.*)"; I get errors. If you have time, can you show me what I need for: $GrabStart = "???"; //3rd opening table row <tr> tag after the 7th opening <table> tag $GrabEnd = "???"; //3rd closing table row <tr> tag after the 7th closing <table> tag Thanks Craig ><> westerman@chanuteks.com ------------code start------------- <html> <head> <title>Grab 2 Example</title> </head> <body> <? $GrabURL = "http://www.gold-forum.com/table.html"; $GrabStart = "<body>"; //need 3rd opening table row <tr> tag after the 7th opening <table> tag $GrabEnd = "</body>"; //need 3rd closing table row <tr> tag after the 7th closing <table> tag $file = fopen("$GrabURL", "r"); $rf = fread($file, 200000); $grab = eregi("$GrabStart(.*)$GrabEnd", $rf, $printing); fclose($file); echo $printing[1]; ?> </body> </html>
