Help formatting a file - mIRC Discussion Forums

ok, I have a xml file, and I have a parser, but sometimes the xml is all on one line so that my parser cant understand it... I need a script that will turn this:

Code:

&lt;tag&gt;&lt;tag&gt;&lt;tag&gt;&lt;item&gt;&lt;title&gt;blah&lt;/title&gt;&lt;link&gt;blah&lt;/link&gt;&lt;something&gt;blah&lt;/something&gt;&lt;/item&gt;&lt;/tag&gt;&lt;/tag&gt;&lt;/tag&gt;

into:

Code:

&lt;tag&gt;
&lt;tag&gt;
&lt;tag&gt;
&lt;item&gt;
&lt;title&gt;blah&lt;/title&gt;
&lt;link&gt;blah&lt;/link&gt;
&lt;something&gt;blah&lt;/something&gt;
&lt;/item&gt;
&lt;/tag&gt;
&lt;/tag&gt;
&lt;/tag&gt;

the only thing that i really want is the <title>blah</title>, the <link>blah</link>, and the </item>, and there can be many or few <tag>'s and </tag>'s and there can be lots of <item> ... </item> after each other...

There is a mIRC script forum, not xml ..

I want a mirc script to parse it...

have you tried Janno's XML parser dll found on mircscripts.org ?

Don't know if it's any use to you, but it does show the XML in the way you wanted it.

alias parse {
var %a, %b = $regsub($1-,/(?<=>)(?=\s*<)/g,$lf,%a)
tokenize 10 %a
echo -a $*
}

Thanks, works great.... until I try to parse a 6.44 kb file... any way to make that work too?

Maybe this is of any help ?

fixed... used fiber optic's regex
