This is called an "up-translate" and can be done with pattern-matching software. It is possible using standard facilities like Regular Expressions implemented in (eg Perl, Python, Tcl, etc) or even using sed, awk, and grep, but it is much better to use a tool which knows about XML. Two possible tools are XSLT2 (eg as in Saxon8: saxon.sourceforge.net) or Omnimark (www.stilo.com), both of which can be used to pattern-match your way through plaintext data or text (and it doesn't even have to be line-by-line either). ///Peter -- XML FAQ: http://xml.silmaril.ie/ | ||||||
