Have you considered using say, the SimpleXML extension?

[stevesweetland]

Hi, stevesweetland.

I wrote some functions that do this with regular expressions:

Make sure to read the section about the limitations of using this method, though.

[stevesweetland]

actually, your code was pretty useful, provided the inspiration to achieve the solution i personally needed!

thanks bob
