Thank you so much for your help. Really appreciate it.

Also have made a note of the command you have given for future reference. Smilie

Unfortunately the sections do not have a unique entry. However each section begins with a [

In Pseudo code what I want to do is:

For argument1 to argumentn do
read argument
Search file for argument
go back to the first [ on the line
extract everything until you reach the next [
save to file argument1.txt

I think once I have this then everything else I need to do I will be able to add to the script.

Thanks again
