Hey, =20 I guess i should let you know what i'm doing before i do anything else! =20 Basically, i am attempting to create a script that will parse the fwb xml file, and pull out any new objects/rules, and send them to a certain mailing list. I know RCS already exists to cover some of this, but what i would like ideally is to pull out the whole object/rule that's just been added, since RCS is not always as verbose as i'd like it to be, and it's not always used to comment correctly. =20 My issue, is that XML file is big and ungainly, and objects and rules are referenced, which causes and extra layer of, well, problems! =20 Is there anything that either already exists to perform this task, or is someone working on something like this?=20 =20 Cheers Miche =20 Michel Andre de la Porte =20 Unix Systems and Network Administrator Global Network Services Mic...@ub... =20 confirm 132805 |

I do not think such thing exists and I never heard of anyone working on it --vk |
