The script I am using imports XML then merges records. I need the two different input files (even though this seems counter intuitive) because of the groups of people they come from.

I want to write a line to find a merge tag and relink it to the source.

example:
<<new800number>>

I can't separate it from the XML because it is part of the layout that will need to flow with changing copy length.

I searched the forum but didn't find anything, could someone point me in the right direction? I hope I have supplied enough detail.

Many Thanks! -M
