No, that's not a problem. As I replied before, I'm evaluating a number of solutions including your suggestions. It's just that this is the oXygen list and having had some suggestions as to what to do using oXygen I thought I should try those as well and report what I found. I've no particular preference for an oXygen solution.

But it strikes me that this task of yours
(/Institution/Student/HUSID[.='999999999999']) at least on very large files, is the kind of task for which XML databases like eXist exist.
Note that a) I am *not* much of an eXist user (yet), so can't give you details on what to do, and b) at least in the more expensive editions, oXygen provides a hook into eXist. _______________________________________________ oXygen-user mailing list oXygen-user@oxygenxml.com http://www.oxygenxml.com/mailman/listinfo/oxygen-user
