I'd like to underscore this point: IF YOU HAVE XML, USE AN XML PARSER TO DEAL WITH IT. I rarely shout, but using split() and gsub() and other string-manipulation tools to handle XML will always go wrong eventually. Probably in a very expensive way, as this example shows. Take the time to learn REXML, it will save you immense trouble later. _______________________________________________ Wtr-general mailing list [email protected] http://rubyforge.org/mailman/listinfo/wtr-general
