Maybe PHP 5 + SimpleXML really is that simple, but... For 20 lines of text, you could probably write a function with explode and implode and have it done in an hour... <?php $bars = explode("<bar", $text); while (list(, $bar) = each($bars)){ preg_match('/.*id="(.*)" name="(.*)".*/', $bar, $parts); $id = $parts[1]; $name = $parts[2]; //Do whatever you want with id and name and: echo "<bar id=\"$id\" name=\"$name\" />\n"; } ?> -- Like Music? http://l-i-e.com/artists.htm
