in thread Match on line, read backwards to opening xml tag then forward to closing tag

Thanks Jethro, that is exactly what I wanted. Also thanks choroba, you're right about where my logic failed, I was focusing to hard on it to see what the issue. And thanks to everyone else who replied too, I know XML parsing is the better way to go when possible and it looks much easier to use.
