Yes, but I did need it on my "search between text strings" subroutine,
because that was what I had been searching for!
Anyway, just to tail the discussion, I've now incorporated those changes,
and written a delightful little script that will find out how the rankings
of any book (actually, any item) on Amazon has changed since the script was
last run. Link to cron and you've got something that gives you daily (or
hourly, or...) updates about one's sales progress, or lack of it.
Next stop: the Amazon API, to avoid all the screen-scraping presently required.
best
Charles
