Well yes you are right! I can't control the sending side. The app i'm writing just accepts incoming xml messages. Like the ones above. When i receive a message I parse it and print the information. I know how to parse both xml messages. What i want is to distinguish them so that i can trigger the appropriate parsing method. A.K. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
