It seems like xls would be able to fix that for you without having to change anything but here is a regex just the same...
Ill haven't tested this yet... but it looks right. rereplacenocase(str, "(<.*?>)", "\L\1:", "all") str = your xmlSTRING (not xmlparsed data) xmlparse it AFTER you run the rereplace ..:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.:.

I am looking for a (maybe regular expression) solution (it has to be in cf), that would find all xml tags in a file and make them lower case.
