note toolic As formatted, your data is hard to understand. I tried to make it presentable using 2 tools ([mod://XML::Tidy] and [man://xmllint]), but both returned errors. <p>Therefore, I will only offer the general advice to use an XML parser. I have been happy with [mod://XML::Twig]. It has a tutorial, and there are many code examples here at the Monastery (and elsewhere). 994888 994888
