Hey, thanks for the reply. No idea about right thread. I just searched programming and posted.
Re: 1.1, the data is not stored in one place/space, unfortunately. It will need to be pulled out of the entry (which reads like any biography would - random). This is why I thought the natural language toolkit may be helpful.

Ultimately, I'm just trying to make my life easier in terms of getting the data. However, it is a skill which could become useful in the future (I can think of one project already which I would have saved myself an afternoon if I could have worked out something that would automatically strip text of particular fields).
