[QUOTE="gloomyandy, post: 90359, member: 24855"] Hi James, The Radiotimes data format used by xmltv would seem to be defined by the following lines of perl script! The first list gives the fields the loop defines which are binary (true/false) values. 326 foreach (@fields) { s/^\s+//; s/\s+$//; undef $_ if not length } 372 my ($title, $sub_title, $episode, $year, $director, $cast, 373 $premiere, $film, $repeat, $subtitles, $widescreen, 374 $new_series, $deaf_signed, $black_and_white, $star_rating, 375 $certificate, $genre, $desc, $choice, $date, $start, $stop, 376 $duration_mins) = @fields; 377 foreach ($premiere, $film, $repeat, $subtitles, $widescreen, 378 $new_series, $deaf_signed, $black_and_white, $choice) { 379 die "true/false value not defined" if not defined; 380 if ($_ eq 'true') { $_ = 1 } 381 elsif ($_ eq 'false') { $_ = 0 } 382 else { die "bad true/false value $_" } 383 } Is this enough for you? Oh and looking at some actual data the episode field seems to be of the form n/m ie episode n of a set of m. But this field can also have extra data in it such as the episode title if this is the case they seem to be of the form: ~n/m - text~ where text is the episode title. Hope this makes sense.
