The source code looks like:

*Stuff that I don't care about*

<h3>START_KEYWORD</h3>

<table class="class_x">*stuff that gets evaluated</table> 99.9% of the  
file is here

<p id="END_KEYWORD">

*Stuff that I don't care about*

I decided to forgo the 'elegant' method and got it working on a few  
test files.  I got it so that it loads the entire contents of the form  
submit into a string and then makes its way through that string.  It  
creates a new string with each <table class="class_x"> that it sends  
to an evaluation method.  The values that I am looking for get found  
and redisplayed on the results page.

The current problem is that when i went to test it on the full source  
something goes wrong.  By something going wrong I mean that the php  
engine dies.  There are roughly 5.4 million characters between my  
start and end points, so I am fairly certain that it is a matter of  
size.  It stops working on text files of about 3.8 million  
characters.  Aside from forcing the user to cut the source code, what  
options do I have?

I looked at allowing for a file upload, but it seems as though there  
is a native file size limit of 2 mb?

Any suggestions as to which direction i should go with this would be  
greatly appreciated.
