From: Bill on 2 Jun 2010 17:54 Hello I've got a text that I need to remove some data elements that aren't need to make it easier to read. The file is in the format of... c:\folder1\folder2\filename.log: <somedata>methodname</somedata> c:\folder1\folder2\filename.log: <somedatatag>methodname</somedatatag> c:\folder1\folder2\filename.log: <somedotheratatag>methodname</someotherdatatag> All I need from each line is the methodname The beginning string and the beginning and ending tags can go. I'll open the file, and do some type of looping construct, but for each line how do I get rid of the text i don't need. Any ideas?

Please note that it does *not* match the 3rd log entry because the tag names differ. If you don't like that, you can use this pattern: ^(?:[^:]*:){2}\s*<[^>]+>(?<method>.*?)</[^>]+> -- Regards, Jackie
