The XML is below, i need to read all the entries under <CasualAdvertiser> and not <NewspaperAdvertiser>. Ive looked at XML::Parser but i dont think i will be able to do things like not include the <NewspaperAdvertiser> results, well not in a good way. So i was wondering what parser to use? also if you could give me a little run down on how to use it or where to find a god example of its use. Thanks (the format didnt come out exactly right but it is correctly formatted XML) Pete
