I need to write a parser too, and am wondering if someone out there might
provide some general hints. Actually, finding the tags themselves is fairly
straightforward -- what I'm looking for is how to parse the contents of a
tag: <ELEMENT attr1=abc attr2="def ghi" attr3="jkl" attr4=mno>.

I'm not looking for a Perl or C answer -- I just need some generic method
of separating out the attribute/value pairs that can be adapted to a
variety of languages.

thanks,
