Re: tagged text parser

It's just plain XML.

I'd recommend you to try XML::Simple. It throws away some data, such as tag order, I think, so try it and see if it works for you. It's easy enough to use so that shouldn't take more than just a few minutes.

There are more elaborate (and less easy to use) XML modules, so if you don't like XML::Simple, come back and we can discuss those that are the best compromise between ease of use, and features.

Hmmm, This has promise. Preliminary tests are positive. Thanks a lot for the suggestion. I wasn't even sure if I was describing the problem correctly Most of he IT types I had discussed this with just sort of looked at me like I was speaking martian. This may get me started on some proof of concept. Thanks PJ use strict; use warnings; use diagnostics;	[reply]
