Could you keep a count of how many values you've set and use it to determine which one to set next? Initialize your structure to an empty state outside the loop(s) and populate it as you find data.
It sounds like you'll have to decide what to do if you encounter more values than you can store. If this is true, your document structure does not mesh well with its memory representation, and you may want to look for ways to make them more similar, such as having a named document element for each structure member. You'd inspect the element name to decide where to store its value. > -----Original Message----- > From: Jones, Brian O.
