Re: string extraction

Draku,

What is it that makes it "pseudo xml"? It looks like XML without a root
element. Why not just encapsulate everything in a root element and then
parse it in an XML document?

Then you can use XPath and whatnot to get your values.

I'm working on credit card processing gateway and the result of the
transaction is returned as pseudo XML! Nope not real XML. Any way the
"XML" looks like that:
<r_csp></r_csp>
<r_time>Wed May 17 13:04:13 2006</r_time>
<r_ref></r_ref>
<r_error>SGS-002304: Credit card is expired.</r_error>
<r_ordernum>420BC82C-446B73AD-248-B918E</r_ordernum>
<r_message></r_message>
<r_code></r_code>
<r_tdate></r_tdate>
<r_score></r_score>

I need to pars the code and extract the values. I can't really find a
good way of doing it. Since the number of values may change I would not
like to refer to them as value[1]... but rather r_error = value of
r_error.

Any hints? All help highly appreciated.
drakuu
