Sorry, mixing my examples up here... xmlRoot.xmlElement.xmlName=find_business xmlRoot.xmlElement.xmlChildren would then contain a collection of struct containers that hold your "name" children.
Every element has a collection of attributes above and beyond the obvious ones in your document. xmlRoot, xmlAttributes, xmlName, xmlNSPrefix, xmlURI, etc. and if you're going to build a struct by hand to mirror an XML document... eh, dude... I think you're going to have some trouble. Why not create the string as a variable... just stick the text into a var... then pass it into xmlParse and use that? It's going to be way easier and much less frustrating than trying to cobble together a mock-XML document. Just my opine... Laterz!
