Thanks, I realized that after I had sent that file. The file I wanted
to include does have the 'product-announced' elements. The file with
both product-updated and product-announced elements is attached.
After reading the DTD for the xml I'm receiving it seems that the both
element sets 'product-updated' and 'product-announced' can be left out
of the document. I'd like a way to check and see which ones are
present and if so, process each accordingly, as they have different
elements in them. Could I use the "findnodes" subroutine you're using
above as a regular expression?
Thanks for your help,
Kevin

<synopsis>1934. The Dustbowl. The last great age of magic. In a time of titanic sandstorms, vile plagues, drought and pistilence - signs of God's fury and harbingers of the Apocalypse - the final conflict between good and evil is about to begin. The battle will take place in the Heartland of an empire called America. And when it is over, man will forever trade away wonder for reason.
A sweeping epic that is both challenging and highly accessible, this one-hour HBO drama series focuses on the primordial conflict of good vs. evil, as played out against a pair of vivid and unusual backdrops: a traveling carnival working the American Dustbowl circuit, and an evangelical ministry in California.
