Re: can the Muenchian method do this?

Hi Andrew,

Thanks again for your help. Sorry I did not specify exactly what I needed.
That last xls does not return anything either. It might help to see the
xml file - http://www.streampad.com/upload/example.xml and with the xlst -
http://www.streampad.com/upload/exampleXSL.xml (this is a lot smaller than
what it will be)

In this example I would like to get back [2 Pac, Jay-Z].

Thanks,
Dan
