::Donal, the problem is that AWK implementation does not interpret the structure at all. It is quite possible to do some parsing even if there are no ready-made library routines for that. But that does not mean that we should implement a full XML parser. The task should be kept relatively simple.
::I notice that the XML input file has now been changed. But the the task description needs to be changed, too. --[[User:PauliKL|PauliKL]] 09:14, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
::Being the poster of the AWK solution, I have to admit it was a bit tongue-in-cheek - but also true to the XP rule "do the simplest thing that might possibly work", which the original code did for the original task. But rather than implement an XML parser in AWK, I'm rather ok with withdrawing the AWK code. --[[User:Suchenwi|Suchenwi]] 10:17, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
