Thanks Adam. That worked a treat! I gotta rememebr that.
Another question.
When i tried the following
import re
xml = '<xmlTest test1="myPic" test2="1234" myVersion="6">'
tag = 'test1' #to get myPic
value = re.split('\W+', xml[xml.index(tag)+len(tag):len(xml)])[1]
I wanted to get the value 'myPic' but it didnt seem to work. I guess
splitting with '\W+' wasn't for this.
Cheers,
D
