Maybe, but it doesn't like start and end tags that are different lengths to [names] and [/names], ie [naaaames] won't work :p Hopefully the other guy will see it and change the needed len()'s ? :-)

In that case:<br />
<br />
GetNames = Mid(strTemp, nStart + 9, nEnd - nStart - 9)<br />
<br />
Change the 9s to &quot;Len(&quot;[Whatever Text]&quot;) + 2&quot; &nbsp;whereas &quot;2&quot; is equal to the length of a &quot;return&quot; (vbCrLf)
</div>


In that case:

GetNames = Mid(strTemp, nStart + 9, nEnd - nStart - 9)

Change the 9s to "Len("[Whatever Text]") + 2"  whereas "2" is equal to the length of a "return" (vbCrLf)

Yeah I just figured that out and was about to post as such, think I'll have the tag as a variable and just len(tag) +- whatever wherever needed, thanks again :)

Visual Basic is Microsoft’s event-driven programming language and integrated development environment (IDE) for its Component Object Model (COM) programming model. It is relatively easy to learn and use because of its graphical development features and BASIC heritage. It has been replaced with VB.NET, and is very similar to VBA (Visual Basic for Applications), the programming language for the Microsoft Office product line.
