Marc- Thanks you very much for the code snippets. This is helping me get my arms around how go about manipulating xml.

It's a quick install, although you might need to download the newest MS installer before you can install the parser (sounds complicated....it's not). Go to this link (watch the wrap in outlook), download the installer and msxml4.0 parser. http://msdn.microsoft.com/downloads/default.asp?url=/downloads/sample.asp?ur l=/msdn-files/027/001/766/msdncompositedoc.xml Then take a look at some of the attached code to get you started. Know that I pretty much stole this code from the macromedia coldfusion forums and adapted it to suit my needs. <cfloop query="myDirectory"> <!--- read the files into a variable ---> <cffile action="READ" file="SomeFile.xml" variable="xmlContent"> <cfset xmlContent =ReReplace(xmlContent ,"<!DOCTYPE[^>]+>","")> <!--- Create COM Object to parse the xml file ---> <CFOBJECT action="CREATE" type="COM" class="Microsoft.XMLDOM" name="objXML"> <!--- note: to use msxml 4.0, you'll change the class to Microsoft.XMLDOM4.0, or something like that...it's in the docs for the parser ---> <cfset objXML.LOADXML(#xmlContent#)> <cfset objXML.async = false> <cfset ElementList = objXML.getElementsByTagName("metadata")> <!--- get the data from the xml file ---> <cfloop collection="#ElementList#" Item="metadata"> <!--- get articleinfo data ---> <cfset journaltitle = metadata.SelectSingleNode("articleinfo/journal-title")> <cfset articletitle = metadata.SelectSingleNode("articleinfo/article-title")> <cfset shorttitle = metadata.SelectSingleNode("articleinfo/short-title")> <cfset manuscriptno = metadata.SelectSingleNode("articleinfo/manuscript-number")> </cfloop> <!--- To display the content of the variable, you have to use variablename.text, like the following ---> <cfoutput> <!--- show filename ---> <p><strong>FILE:</strong> #name# (The update was #isUpdated#)</p> <!--- show articleinfo data ---> <strong>Journal:</strong> #journaltitle.text#<br> <strong>Title:</strong> #articletitle.text#<br> <strong>Ms. number:</strong> #manuscriptno.text#<br> </cfoutput> NOTE: It might be quicker to use cfscript/createObject() to instantiate the msxml object and set the variables, but I haven't tried so I don't know. I'm attaching an xml document to this email so you'll know what the above code is attempting to parse.
