The standardized solution for your need would be XPath which is probably avaialble as off-the-shelf code. I know Xalan/LotusXSL includes such a routine. But that doesn't output the syntax you've shown. If you really need that specific syntax, you get to invent your own code to generate it and/or respond to it. It shouldn't be hard; from the target node, walk up the parents and at each step count across from firstChild... then reverse the order, of course. To evaluate the position string, just run the same process in reverse, counting across the children at each step. ______________________________________ Joe Kesselman / IBM Research
