Re^3: split an xml file into pieces

When you really think about it, EVERY question people post on here is something they could solve by hiring the right programmer. This particular question only takes a few seconds to solve; many others, even well-thought-out posts, can take 20-30 minutes. Seems to me the latter are ripping us off more, in terms of potential money lost.

I wouldn't help if it took me more than 5 minutes, but who can't spare a few seconds for even a stupid, lazy person?

After hundreds and hundreds of such encounters, I'm of the opinion keszlers approach is best (and cavacs too), spend those few seconds to ask for minimum effort , and wait to see if the OP plays along; its no fun to play by yourself. It appears the OP in this thread is willing to play along, and that is very nice; I can't wait to see how it ends.
