Thanks ahmed works great, only I'm figure it out how to print only the "<food>" blocks removing the others lines that could be
present ("<? xml...", "<breakfast_menu", "</breakfast_menu" etc).

Hi Chubler_XL for both options, both work great, but if the xml file contains more lines between <food's> blocks the code will not
consider them and if the lines between <food> and </food> are different to "name", "price" and "calories" etc, will not be consider either.
It could be more lines than those 3, and could be different from file to file than in the sample.

For example:

Code:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?> 
<breakfast_menu> 
    <food> 
        <name>Berry-Berry Belgian Waffles</name> 
        <price>$8.95</price> 
        <calories>900</calories> 
        <description>Description text..</description>
    </food> 
    <food> 
        <name>French Toast</name> 
        <price>$4.50</price> 
        <calories>600</calories> 
        <description>Description text..</description> 
    </food> 
</breakfast_menu>

Thanks for help so far.

Regards.
