lol. Thanks for the advise. Truth be told, I do not know where to start but the code I put up was the best I could find that does something similar. Thats why I wanted to start from there.

Preferably I would want to use awk/grep as I used it to clean up the data, but if (as you mentioned) that I might be able to crack this faster in Perl, then time to brush up my perl then. Smilie

Code:
awk 'NR%3{printf "%s ",$0;next}{print;}' infile

the code above would allow me to 'combine' 3 sequential lines.
Can i extend this to make it iterative?

NAME
photon - generates photo albums SYNOPSIS
photon [OPTIONS] [PATH] DESCRIPTION
Photon generates clean, yet configurable, static HTML photo galleries. All of the work is done from the command line, and the resulting output can easily be configured by changing the template files found in /usr/share/photon/templates. To create a new template (skin), first create a new directory: mkdir -p ${HOME}/.photon/templates/my_theme/ Then copy the contents of /usr/share/photon/templates/photonv1/ to this new directory. Photon only needs three files to build pages: index.html used to display the content of a folder image.html used to display the page for an image movie.html used to display the page for a movie If a file is missing, then photon will throw an error and will not run. HOW TO BUILD A GALLERY
Quick start $ photon -o myoutputdir /photos Use the gimp plugin $ photon --resize-plugin=gimp -v -o myoutputdir /photos Change the size for all images and the thumbnail and keep the original photo $ photon --sizelist=0,1600x1200,800x600 --thumbsize=320x240 -o myoutputdir /photos Create a gallery from your custom template (skin) $ photon -k my_theme -o myoutputdir /photos See photon help $ photon --help OPTIONS
