Hi.

I'm trying to build a html analyzer that looks at natural words in html text.

Renee,

I agree with the previous post - what you want to do is non-trivial. However, to address your question: one approach is to create a single quote flag (sqf) and a double quote flag (dqf). When you encounter the first quote, set that flag. When you encounter the second quote of the same type, clear the flag. At the end, both flags should be clear, or the html is mal-formed. You can also get more sophisticated and verify that you do not encounter a single, double, single sequence, or a double, single, double sequence. That gets more involved by remembering which quote was first, second, and third - third should be same as second, for example.
