I can see the urls.html from last script I sent > using your zipped desktopshortcuts.zip You could not unzip it because I used winzip to make that one file and it came out with an x at the end as in BT_Files.zipx. I thought nothing of it and deleted the x. Apparently there was more to it than that. I have now rezipped the same files in Linux and upped it to the server, you can retrieve the BT_Files.zip now and you will be able to unzip it. Sorry. http://home.comcast.net/~theohmster/files/BT_Files.zip It is very late for me but I will test your new script, thank you BT. -- ~Ohmster | ohmster59 /a/t/ gmail dot com Put "messageforohmster" in message body (That is Message Body, not Subject!) to pass my spam filter.

Ok, zip contents of geturls was a few changes out of date. :( Once you start running latest one. You should be fairly close to having something you can really play around with.

This works really good BT, same as your last one. Now if you could only get the target attribute in the script, man oh man, what a treasure that would be!!

Looking at John's version of my script the line would look something like echo "<li><A href=\"$_line target=\"_blank\">$_line</A>" >> $_out_fn
