Keith, I’ve used revXML for parsing HTML in somewhat controlled conditions. While revXML can work for HTML, your results will vary based on how well structured the HTML is. If there are tags that are not closed or are out of balance then revXML won’t give you the results you expect. If you are generating the HTML then it shouldn’t be a problem. If it is third party HTML then you may have to massage the HTML input to get it to work. It would be great if there were a library wrapper around one of the dedicated HTML parsers listed on this page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_HTML_parsers -- Trevor DeVore ScreenSteps _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list [email protected] Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
