Mark, this is one way (this way only returns the first tag of a give name), but there could be many others.

function extractTaggedText pText, pTagName
   replace "<" & pTagName & ">" with numtochar(4) in pText
   replace "</" & pTagName & ">" with numtochar(4) in pText
   set the itemdelimiter to numtochar(4)
   return word 1 to -1 of item 2 of pText
end extractTaggedText

Best,

Mark

Hi all,

RunRev: 2.90
OS: WinXP

How would I retrieve text that is within 2 tags, that has been put into a
memory variable?
The text originated from a web site, using command "put url theURL into
tData".
Such as:

<MyText>
This is some text I would like to
retrieve. It is on many lines
and all the text has to be return
within the tags.

Also, the text could have HTML formatting in it.
</MyText>

I don't know how to use the XML commands in rev as yet (a possibility), so I
would like to use the text chunk commands to do so.

TIA.
Mark Stuart
