hi again. important issues: 1. i cannot change the DTD structure (backward compability) 2. i must add it to the specific location (end of list)
the xml is not a problem since i look for </node> and replace it <...new_sysntax...></node> in the dtd i define my list of nodes <!ELEMENT sub_app_object_list ( appobj_EXTERNAL_URL_LIST_FORMAT, appobj_BROWSE_NEXT_ITEMS_NOT_AVAILABLE_TEXT, ... 200+ entries --- NEW ENTRY NEEDS TO BE HERE ----- > i really don't understand why it should be at the end (it will make no diffrence to the XML and validation) but those are the requirments. The issue is that i can do it using RegExp but it will "delete" + "paste" the 200+ lines in to the file again.

Ok - four steps back ... What is your current DTD and where you want to add the "node"?
