I need to search an xml element for blocks of text. The start of the text
block will have a 5 digit number in it and i then need to read until the
next 5 digit number. After this, I need to put them in different containers
of their own. Where would I start? 3 1818

Look up the following (with regards to .NET) on MSDN, after you learn
a bit you should be able to do what you need.
Xml
XPath
Regex

To find the text contents of the XML element itself you can use
XmlReader or XPathDocument/XPathNavigator or XmlDocument or (with .NET
3.5) LINQ to XML. Then to parse that block of text it sounds as if
regular expressions could help e.g.
\d{5}.*?\d{5}
is a regular expression matching five digits, anything else and five digits.
If you want to manipulate the XML (not sure whether "put them in
different containers" relates to XML) then XmlDocument or LINQ to XML
are the right APIs.

Putting it in containers means that I need to get the text blocks. When I
find them I need to put part of it in a textbox and part of it in a
listview/listbox. Here is an example of the text blocks I need to parse.
'following line goes inside a listbox/listview
99999 A description of the item in question
'following steps go inside a textbox
1. step 1
2. step 2
3. step 3
and the steps list continues until another 5 digit number is found. This is
the parsing detail that I need for right now.

I'm working with java and XML documents in order to search for keywords in a
given element name, eg element name 'author' == "jo blogs".
The problem is the XML documents are downloaded (this process is automated)
from different websites thus the element names for author may differ!
Is their a way of dealing with this, such as perhaps a standard adopted by,
say educational websites to agree on element names ?
Thanks very much

Hi all.
I use such code to clone blocks:
element = document.getElementById(IdOfElement)
element = element.cloneNode(true)
new_element = document.getElementById(IdOfElement).appendChild(element)
Anybody knows how to set id for the new element ? I mean the id which I coud
use in CSS stylesheet for setting css properties of new element.

This is the first time I use SAX in order to translate my XML and I

well-formed):

Hi.
I am somewhat new to this and would like some advice.
I want to search my xml file using "keyword" search and
return results based on "proximity matching" - in other words,
since the search string will often not produce a direct match,
the results will be based on proximity (50%, 20% 100%, etc).
are there any good examples out there on how to do keyword
searches on XML data? How should i set up my xml file so

I am unable to find appropriate documentation on the type promotion of bit-fields when using the generalised comparison operator "<=>".
