To give you even more information, in my datafile, the word that I am searching for is 'marked' by the word in the line before it. For example, the lines in my datafile look like.. line 1 line 2 line 2 Installation example Installation line 4 line 5 line 6 and all I want is the word in between the words Installation. Because I don't know what the word in between the words Installation will be, I'm not actually searching for the word Installation but for the word in the next line after Installation. Does that make sense? Any ideas?Thread Next
