Re: [Vtd-xml-users] Need more arbitrary random access

[Jimmy Z. <cra...@co...>]

I just want to add to Tatu's comment...
People usually navigates XML's metadata to get to the real data, so when you 
navigate
you can just store the index value of text tokens, and you should be able to 
find a work around
that does not require you to store a lot of cursor locations,
For your example, why don't u just store the index values for AAA, BBB, 
CCC???
