############ end of copy

By the way the script excepts a well-formed html file,
that is, if a tag is opened (e.g., <td>\) it expected
the corresponding closing tag (</td>\)

With a few lines of more code, it should be possible
to first fix the html file and then do the
replacements.

Let me know how it went

That worked perfectly - thanks very much for your help.

Had to figure out Stylesheets before I could try it, but I got there in the end.

Thanks again!

glad it worked

the color you get for your long entries
<td class=long>...</td>
is red

the code is
.long { color: #ff0000; }

#RRGGBB: red component, green component, blue component
it uses hexadecimal (from 0 to f), so f is the maximum and 0 the minimum
if you want it in blue you'd have
.long { color: #0000ff; }
and if you use a color picker it usually displays a hex code
then you can paste it.
you could also some other styles for those columns:
font size, weight (bold), italic:

.long { ...; font-weight: bold; }
or/and: font-style: italic;
etc.

If you want to experiment with css, you can try this:

Thats's a superb link - thanks again.

I knew about the Hex Codes, just the whole 'Stylesheet' thing is new to me, although I had heard of them. Up until now I'd been using the 'old way' i.e. tags everywhere!
