How can I search with start and end criteria?

Hello

I'm using cygwin and wouldlike extract information from an xml file according specific values, but don't know how.

Let's say in a file content looks like this:
Code:
 
<tab>
    SURNAME=Mustermann
    NAME=Max
    CUSTOMER SINCE= 18.01.2000
    ADDRESS=Birmingham
    DESCRIPTION=likes red
    etc
</tab>
 
<tab>
    SURNAME=Doe
    NAME=John
    CUSTOMER SINCE= 18.01.2002
    ADDRESS=Berlin
    PARAMETERX= anything
    DESCRIPTION=something
    etc
</tab>

the block starts and ends for each customer with tab /tab but the parameter in between could be different.

e.g. I want the output of all customers which has DESCRIPITON=likes red and ADDRESS starts with B

how can I define the search for both creteria is just between the start and end parameter tab?

I hope you understand what I mean Smilie

Thanks in advance

XmTabListInsertTabs(library call)										 XmTabListInsertTabs(library call)

NAME
XmTabListInsertTabs -- A convenience function that inserts tabs into a tab list SYNOPSIS
#include <Xm/Xm.h> XmTabList XmTabListInsertTabs( XmTabList oldlist, XmTab *tabs, Cardinal tab_count, int position); DESCRIPTION
XmTabListInsertTabs creates a new tab list that includes the tabs in oldlist. This function copies specified tabs to the tab list at the given position. The first tab_count tabs of the tabs array are added to the tab list. If oldlist is NULL, XmTabListInsertTabs creates a new tab list containing only the tabs specified. oldlist Specifies the tab list to add the tabs to. The function deallocates oldlist after extracting the required information. tabs Specifies a pointer to the tabs to be added to the tab list. It is the caller's responsibility to free the tabs in tabs by using XmTabFree. tab_count Specifies the number of tabs in tabs. position Specifies the position of the first new tab in the tab list. A value of 0 (zero) makes the first new tab the first tab in the tab list, a value of 1 makes it the second tab, and so on. If position is greater than the number of tabs in oldlist, then the tabs will be inserted at the end. If position is negative, the count will be backwards from the end. A value of -1 makes the first new tab the last tab, and so on. RETURN
If tabs is NULL or tab_count is 0 (zero), this function returns oldlist. Otherwise, it returns a new tab list. The function allocates space to hold the returned tab list. The application is responsible for managing the allocated space. The application can recover the allocated space by calling XmTabListFree. RELATED
