I am just capturing a group in the xml and replacing it with another group. I did'nt think that is parsing. Is it?

It's called parsing whenever you want to do anything with (specific bits of) the data you read :)	[reply]

Yes, it is. For an easily accessible analogy (i.e., a fair-to-good example from linguistics), see the second definition at http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/parse; for a more challenging info-dump, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parse.	[reply]
