It sounds like you want to just ignore lines that do not have those tags. If the data conveniently has line feeds after every close or all element tag and not after any interesting open element tags, just egrep for those tags. It's not xml, just text filtering. You can use sed, awk or perl to adjust the lines if they do not ffit that mold and the line feeds are not real data. PERL, C++ and JAVA can parse xml, and probably that other p named script language I keep blocking on. XPATH XQUERY sorts of queries rely on real xml parsing.

Hi
I want to take an XML file and transform it into a pipe-delimited format. What is the best tool to use for this? I have libxml2 which seems to be the best xml parser around.
The xml file will have the following format.

xml::parser::style::stream5.18
Parser::Style::Stream(3) User Contributed Perl Documentation Parser::Style::Stream(3)
NAME
XML::Parser::Style::Stream - Stream style for XML::Parser
SYNOPSIS
use XML::Parser;
my $p = XML::Parser->new(Style => 'Stream', Pkg => 'MySubs');
$p->parsefile('foo.xml');
{
package MySubs;
sub StartTag {
my ($e, $name) = @_;
# do something with start tags
}
sub EndTag {
my ($e, $name) = @_;
# do something with end tags
}
sub Characters {
my ($e, $data) = @_;
# do something with text nodes
}
}
DESCRIPTION
This style uses the Pkg option to find subs in a given package to call for each event. If none of the subs that this style looks for is
there, then the effect of parsing with this style is to print a canonical copy of the document without comments or declarations. All the
subs receive as their 1st parameter the Expat instance for the document they're parsing.
It looks for the following routines:
o StartDocument
Called at the start of the parse .
o StartTag
Called for every start tag with a second parameter of the element type. The $_ variable will contain a copy of the tag and the %_
variable will contain attribute values supplied for that element.
o EndTag
Called for every end tag with a second parameter of the element type. The $_ variable will contain a copy of the end tag.
o Text
Called just before start or end tags with accumulated non-markup text in the $_ variable.
o PI
Called for processing instructions. The $_ variable will contain a copy of the PI and the target and data are sent as 2nd and 3rd
parameters respectively.
o EndDocument
Called at conclusion of the parse.
