I have a filter file which using a series of preset filters (like the
HTML code stripper), and a series of exact-match replacement filters
(usually to get rid of text altogether), and a series of regexp
replacement filters.

The intended input are HTML files. These HTML files are actually
webpages from an online reseller service, saved to my hard drive. Each
webpage details a single sale.

Anyway, if I open any of these HTML files into Notepad, then paste all
the code into the TPP Trial Run Area, the output is perfect.

*But* if any of these HTML files are input as files (by pointing to a
specific file, or a folder containing the files on my hard drive) then
many of the replacement operations are left undone.

The same poor result is evident even when I input straight from the
clipboard. I even get a poor result when I copy the data to the
clipboard from the input pane in the Trial Run Area, after having just
ran a successful trial run on that very same data!!!

All the filters and steps in this .fll file are enabled. As I said, it
works perfectly in the Trial Run Area.

I just don't get it. This forum doesn't seem very active anymore, but
I hope somebody out there can help me. This is a rather urgent matter.
(And this isn't a matter of trying to save time by salvaging an old
filter file. I just created this filter file, and it is perfect, as
shown by performing trial runs of several different HTML files from my
reseller.)

Thanks in advance for your help!
