    Using regex to manipulate XML is like using a belt sander to remove a zit from your face: it will do the job, but it will be a lot more painful than you can ever imagine.

    Please read and heed the wise counsel of choroba. Perhaps some monk better versed than I in XML can suggest a couple of specific XML modules that might be of use?

    I do not understand. Where is the problem? Get the query from XML, then do the validation.

    really? Why are you so sure about that?

    Get your data in, as it is, exactly as it appears from your file

    *Then* do whatever validation/processing you need to do on it... don't make the problem harder than it needs to be...
