If the lines are too long, then you need binary variables. That said, you *can* manipulate binary variables within mIRC without writing them to a file. Using $bvar allows you to do this. If you check each line for your matchtext, you may not even need to actually work with lines over the ~500 character limit. If that is the case, it won't be very difficult at all to handle the data. If you give a *small* sample of the data that you're actually trying to grab from the site, it would be easy to show you how to match it and use it.
I posted a sample of 1 chunk a few replies ago. You can copy/paste that 20 times on the same line to replicate the data I receive from the webpage.
Much appreciated
