David,
Why aren't you just using WDDX to get the values out? If for some reason you
can't, look in to using REFindNoCase with the "return subexpression" option
set to true (this is the fourth argument in the function.)
This will return a structure containing a single item array which will mark
the starting position and the length of the match. You can then do a
recursive call until you get down to just the data.
This is going to be a slow process to try to do in just CFML. If you can't
use CFWDDX, you might want to look into create a COM object to do it for
you, and then use CFOBJECT to call the COM object.

Subject: Re: RegExp to extract info between tags
My, we're demanding ;)
I'm trying to parse an XML packet. Specifically, a WDDX packet created
by running CFWDDX ACTION="CFML2WDDX" on a CFML query. Here's an example:
<wddxPacket version='0.9'>
<header></header>
<data>
<recordset rowCount='3' fieldNames='EMPID,EMPNAME'>
<field name='EMPID'>
<number>1</number>
<number>2</number>
<number>5</number>
</field>
<field name='EMPNAME'>
<string>Joe</string>
<string>Tom</string>
<string>Sam</string>
</field>
</recordset>
</data>
</wddxPacket>
I can get to each field easily enough, but I could use help with getting
at the data.
