Both have XML parsers; in perl and I assume python these can be up with a bit of work to pass everything through and let you fiddle with just the pieces you want. If the incoming data was generated by a machine it's quite likely sufficiently regular that you don't even need to use the XML parser, just pattern-match for the tags you care about. This will run faster and be less work to write. -Tim
