Hi, Try to look at Groovy (I haven't used it yet but some people say it is much easire to work with XML file in Groovy then in Java). It produces class files so it can be integrated with your exisitng Java code. 6MB file is not that much unless you are working in limited environment (like mobile device?).
Also if the only thing you really need is to search for some strings in two files and you don't need to integrate this function with other Java code then you can simply go with *unix command line tools (grep, wc, ...) that should give you what you need very quickly.

Hi Lukas, Thanks for your response. I was planning to search for 1st xml ID's in 2nd XML. so I thought of using lucene for search. Can you please suggest me some scripting solution. Is perl right solution? Thanks, Babu On 12/4/06, Lukas Vlcek <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Hi Babu, > > Sorry but I don't see any point in using Lucene if you don't need search > functionality.
