hi matt, thanks very much for your help! but this is the error i get when i run your code?
Error Diagnostic Information Just in time compilation error unknown context error reached at the end of the CFML templateInvalid expression format. The usual cause is an error in the expression structure. The last successfully parsed CFML construct was a CFSET tag occupying document position (14:1) to (14:6).

The first line creates a structure of arrays which you would put in a holding variable like result (not reportid). Then the second line grabs the number (the reportid) from the original code based on the instructions in result: <cfset result = REFind("report_id=""([0-9]+)"", xml_123, 1, true)> <cfset ReportId = Mid(xml_123, result.pos[2],result.len[2])> ______________________________________________________________________ Your ad could be here.
