Indeed a bit different from what you posted first. My proposed solution in
the other thread will *only* work in case you have matrices of these
'inverted' <tab/><br/> constructs. (equal amount of tabs for each br)

Look into the answer in the earlier thread you posted for this to give you a
clue... I hope there is at least *some* pattern as to what nodes are to form
the rows/columns. If not, you might need to normalize your source 'xml'
first, to make it ready for pattern-matching.


In any case, I hope you're getting the logic --if not, just yell

Cheers,

Andreas
