It seemed to work (and yes I added an anchor of \" at the end) - but  
I realised that it only seems to be getting the usernames from the  
first few lines (which have a user name on separate lines) - the last  
part of each html has the user-names in one huge long line - it seem  
to get the first one - but not the rest....

Any ideas for multiple matches per line? I tried manually adding  
returns and it got a few more - but there are a few files to process :)

Thanks  for all your help (all of you)
