search for regular expression in text and put the results into an array

[runrev260805 at m-r-d.de]

Hi,

I am absolutely new to XML, so please forgive me for this question.

I have an XML file which looks similar like this.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<statuses type="array">
<status>blah blah bla
   <some other>blah blah blah
      <and so on></status>


The <status>...</status> part is repeating many times, but with different content.

i want to put the <status>...</status>part  into an array. So i get to know how often this part is in the xml file. I then want to extract some text of each of this <status>....</status> section. My main problem is how to seperate each <Status...> </status> section. Do i have to use the XML library? Or is there another way?

Regards,

Matthias
