You might be able to use "Beautiful Soup": http://www.crummy.com/software/BeautifulSoup/ There are also some good examples for parsing XML at http://www.devarticles.com/c/a/XML/Parsing-XML-with-SAX-and-Python/ and the Dive Into Python site. Mike -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
