Hi,

1) I got the Album Creator 2.1 for Dreamweaver MX and it's flipping out 
on
larger photo albums. This one in particular consists of about 370 
photos. It
dies and says "waiting for Fireworks" when Fireworks is long finished. 
The
Photo Albums are not created. By any remote-not-in-this-lifetime 
chance, do
you know what the upper limit is?

1 Supplemental) I created the photo album the normal way and it worked 
fine.

2) Which leads me to regular expressions. I've got about *ehem* 370 
find and
replaces to go through. However, I need to use regular expressions. I 
have:

<br>DSC0024.jpg</td>
<br>BP16.jpg</td>
<br>115_1566.jpg</td>
<br>PICT0276.jpg</td>

Those are the four known patterns (<br>!@#$.jpg</td>)

Can someone clue me in on the regular expression to clear out that mess
between the <br> and the </td>? I tried Dreamweaver's help and like all
software help systems, it was useless.

Hi Rob,

Sorry, I get this in digest form and am a little behind on the reading.
If you haven't found your solution yet, try using greps to clean out 
code.
I use it in GoLive and  BBEdit - I believe it will work as a regular 
expression in Dreamweaver too.

Try

<br>[^>]*</td>

where     [^>]*   is the magic device.
