I would just use wget and perl to read in the file every 5 minutes and strip out all the stuff you don't want leaving only the two parts you do want. I could do this for you pretty easily if I knew exactly which part of the file you wanted (i.e., how to identify where the sections begin and end based on certain text strings). I'd probably keep the time stamp, too. I don't know how to force a refresh, though. I would just use Ctrl-r or click the refresh button whenever I wanted the latest version. Mike
