Retrieving text within 2 tags

[Mark Smith]

Mark, this is one way (this way only returns the first tag of a give  
name), but there could be many others.

function extractTaggedText pText, pTagName
    replace "<" & pTagName & ">" with numtochar(4) in pText
    replace "</" & pTagName & ">" with numtochar(4) in pText
    set the itemdelimiter to numtochar(4)
    return word 1 to -1 of item 2 of pText
end extractTaggedText

Best,

Mark
