However, it wasn't worth going further without first having a look at the C code that produces the output. For example, different XML encoding libraries may encode the property values more or less strictly (for example, are values properly encoded to prevent a value of "</name>" (for example) from prematurely terminating the property borking the XML valiation. (my guess would be that it would be encoded fully as "<name></name></name>". Just a matter of extending the extract_data() and extract_attr() functions and then generalizing a little more. -- Devin _____________ The information contained in this message is proprietary and/or confidential.
