yeah, your right... sorry just didn't think that those things were important for this instance since that the second socket would've been trigger only for a exact match, and the alias only strips the html code... but anywho here are the missing pieces:

Code:
on *:sockopen:movieinfo2:{ 
  sockwrite -n $sockname GET %movieinfolink2 HTTP/1.1 
  sockwrite -n $sockname Host: www.imdb.com $+ $crlf $+ $crlf 
  set %zinfonumber 1
} 
on *:sockread:movieinfo2:{ 
  if ($sockerr) { 
    Halt 
  } 
  else { 
    var %tmptxt 
    sockread -f %tmptxt 
    if (<b class="blackcatheader"> isin %tmptxt) {
      if (Directed isin %tmptxt) { set %directcatch 1 }
    }
    elseif (%directcatch <= 1) {
      hadd $remove(%movietitle,$chr(32)) $+ .hsh Director $htmlconv(%tmptxt)
      unset %directcatch
    }
    if (<b class="ch"> isin %tmptxt) { 
      if (%zinfonumber <= 8) { 
        if (%zinfonumber = 1) { inc %zinfonumber } 
        elseif (%zinfonumber = 2) {
          hadd $remove(%movietitle,$chr(32)) $+ .hsh Tagline $remove($htmlconv(%tmptxt),Tagline:,(more),(view trailer)) 
          inc %zinfonumber 
        } 
        elseif (%zinfonumber = 3) {
          hadd $remove(%movietitle,$chr(32)) $+ .hsh Plot $remove($htmlconv(%tmptxt),Plot $+ $chr(32) $+ Outline:,Plot $+ $chr(32) $+ Summary:,(more),(view trailer)) 
          inc %zinfonumber 
        } 
        elseif (%zinfonumber = 4) { inc %zinfonumber } 
        elseif (%zinfonumber = 5) { inc %zinfonumber } 
        elseif (%zinfonumber = 6) { inc %zinfonumber } 
        elseif (%zinfonumber = 7) { inc %zinfonumber } 
        elseif (%zinfonumber = 8) { replywithstuff } 
      } 
      if (Genre: isin %tmptxt) { set %genrecatch 1 }
      if (Runtime: isin %tmptxt) { set %rtcatch 8 }
    }
    elseif (%genrecatch <= 1) { 
      hadd $remove(%movietitle,$chr(32)) $+ .hsh Genre $remove($htmlconv(%tmptxt),(more)) 
      unset %genrecatch 
    }
    elseif (%rtcatch <= 8) {
      hadd $remove(%movietitle,$chr(32)) $+ .hsh runtime $remove($htmlconv(%tmptxt),runtime:)  
      unset %rtcatch
    }
  }
}

alias -l htmlconv { 
  var %x, %i = $regsub($1-,/(^[^<]*>|<[^>]*>|<[^>]*$)/g,$null,%x), %x = $remove(%x,&,$chr(9)) 
  return %x 
}


thats the rest.... hope it helps

thanks
