> But here, there's dc=spodhuis,dc=demon,dc=nl -- they're not unique tags. That's why I said "And it has identical tags". I mean the user and group ID tags in the sublist are unique, and that in a situation where the tags in the main list were unique would also be a case where you'd have to be prepared for people putting stuff in different orders. > Without embedding a scripting language, is there a similar utility > available for developers to use? Don't know. For this situation I'd rather see something like a simple query language. I wrote one for parsing files once that used examples with embedded names, like "tag=value+". Worked well for grovelling though syslog files, but nobody else at the site ever used it so I let it rot. Today's software hate is my Nokia phone. TBA
