This is a classic example of where to use a finite state machine: <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Finite_state_machine> Basically, you have an initial state and then an "inside country" state. Then inside your parser:didEndElement:namespaceURI:qualifiedName: you behave differently based on the current state. _______________________________________________ Cocoa-dev mailing list (Cocoa-dev@lists.apple.com) Please do not post admin requests or moderator comments to the list.
