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

Les, I was wondering where you were! I almost always agree with your comments when I see them elsewhere. And here is no exception! I just ordered new pillows about 2 weeks ago that are very similar to the one you linked to, except they're a circular print instead of squares! Originally I forgot to mention that the reason the photos are where they are is because that's where our sconces were, and they're covering up the mess on the wall left behind! So really the first step is to take them down and fix the wall! (This was done very hastily when we took down the lights -- long story -- but this is why the wall is a problem. Didn't think about it enough.) To be honest, my first instinct was to put the frames next to the mirror, but we needed a way to cover up the sconce "mess". So, wall repair is on the schedule for this weekend. We are also going to an Open Studios event so might end up finding a couple of pieces of art that may end up on the wall. Will post "after" pics.

I'm going to try this product for sure. As for the unruliness (smile), I keep a child's toothbrush handy to brush the brows straight up and then cut them with tiny scissors. Then, I spray the toothbrush with hair spray and "style" my brows, lol. Good grief, it sounds like I've got bushy brows! Not so at all but the brushing them up and smoothing them over makes a huge difference. That mascara will really help, mine are thinning and graying.

I'll hijack with another pet story. Walking my Westie in the park today, a loose dog ran up and attacked him. I whacked the dog on the back with the handle of my flexi-leash, and he backed off. The owner ran up and showed me the prong collar had broken. I picked up my dog who was favoring one leg, and the loose dog approached me again very closely. I shouted NO, and he just looked at me. I thought it was odd the owner didn't attempt to get his dog with the leash and I told him to do it. When he did get the dog, it bit him on the hand. He was most apologetic, said they had considered putting the dog down. What a liability, a dog like that. Could have been a child attacked. Anyway, I gave my dog a few minutes to see if he could walk on the leg he was favoring. He seemed ok and we continued our walk, altho' his tail was tucked quite a bit. Inspected him for bites but found no broken skin. Yay. He'll be taking a long nap today. At dog school they told us with small dogs not to pick them up if threatened by loose dogs, maybe because if they attack the dog in your arms, you could get hurt. Not sure about that. I wouldn't mind getting hurt to protect my dog, but if bitten I sure wouldn't want the rabies treatment. Forgive my rambling. It's been a little stressful.
