The real problem with the original request is the length of text that
constitutes the logical break Linda is looking for.  If it were me, I'd look
for "C: The gathering", which would eliminate the possibility of the text
being spread across two lines.

Almost makes you wonder if it's worth while opening in something like excel
and then doing a .find  across the cells....
Depends on the size of the file I guess...

Perhaps Sean, but then you never know do you ;) I guess its best to be able
to respond to all eventualities :) and by concatinating it will work, but I
think its a better solution to only loop until necessary and not the whole
file (Which I guess you could still do and only concatinate until you have
found what youre looking for). There are a few ways to solve this problem of
course, and because this doesnt look like it matters on the speed I think
not referencing the FSO would be nice but I dont really know the correct
choice (If there really is any) apart from the fact that the FSO as stated
gives you more to play with :)
