Joe, I'm not saying this would or would not be useful, I just found it with a search... http://www.bbcode-to-html.com/ Personally though, just because I like to do things the difficult way I'd probably throw copies of all the text files containing the bbcode into a folder and attempt to develop a script to convert them all in one go. I'm not saying I could do it, but I'd likely try. For instance, this rough beginning using "sed" works on the bbcode you posted above. It's missing a bunch of tags, even the regular [URL] one, but maybe it wouldn't be that difficult to extend. Or maybe it would, I don't really know. sed -e 's/\[b\]/\<strong\>/gi' \ -e 's/\[\/b\]/\<\/strong\>/gi' \ -e 's/\[u\]/\<u\>/gi' \ -e 's/\[\/u\]/\<\/u\>/gi' \ -e 's/\[url=\([^]]*\)\]/\<a href="\1"\>/gi' \ -e 's/\[\/url\]/\<\/a\>/gi' \ -e 's/\[img\]/\<img src\=\"/gi' \ -e 's/\[\/img\]/"\>/gi' Running the bbcode you posted above through that script yields this HTML: Download Autoruns for Windows: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/sysinternals/bb963902.aspx No installation required.

The bad thing is, I don't know "regular expressions", although I wouldn't mind learning. Actually, I did learn a wee bit just now. Thanks. :) Edit: line-spacing This post was edited by chuggerguy on Fri, Jan 24, 14 at 16:46

Ladies, I hope I haven't stirred up a frenzy here, but reading the responses, leads me to believe there are some female techies out there, and like others here, I have great respect for that. I am just saying there are some of us that are just not capable to doing some of the techy things, no matter what, UNLESS they are carefully explained, and when I can get it in my head, repeat the process over and over until it imprints on my brain. I believe that is a lot of what adult ADHD is, and that is a lot of my problem. I was a laborer for all my working life, and until retirement did not even dream of doing "office work" Now, that I am freer to choose what I would like to do, enjoy the word processing etc., that comes with some projects. Then, there are others that use the machine for just FB and email, not for me to criticize, this is America, and so glad of it too. Anyway, I digress, there are some ladies out there in cyberspace, that are alone, and at the mercy of unscrupulous tech people, and they don't even know what to do about it, let alone learn the proper techniques. I try to steer them to a computer forum, and pray for the best. This has been my home for about 15 years, and I still miss Dreamweaver, she was a real techie, way before her time. So, have a great day, anyone that is reading this, and I hope I haven't upset anyone. WE are sistas regardless of the circumstances.

crafty lady, I have a folder the unzipped files go to, not crowding the desktop, then I can do them at my leisure. Never any probs previously, and still think it is the site doing this, as when I use my FF browser, have no problems at all, can change from media files, to win RAr and it stays when clicked, as won't do when I use IE. Am not having any luck going to Accessories, etc., to change the titles either, so what else can I do? I also do save target as, and always went directly to zipped folders, now becomes a movie clip, even before I can download.

nut, do you see that two people (later edit - now three) have "liked" my comment? Unlike you, they understood what I wrote. I'm not sure what it is that leads you to make impolite comments when you don't understand things that others say. This isn't the first time, the same thing has happened before and you've had the same reaction.
