Specifically, they only want the first Xnumber of headlines (it must be able to be a variable) to be selected. Weknow how to do this using Perl, but were wondering if anyone had luck doingthis sort of thing using WebCat. I have to assume that the TCPConnectcommand would be used somehow, but to be quite honest it doesn't seem to bethat fast of an option (perl is still better).Any ideas?Josh Knauerhttp://www.knauer.com412-420-6400 -phone412-420-6404 -faxP60E7 A28B 91C0 E5D3 EC5C A53F DB28 B350
