[XML-SIG] How can I search for a string of text

Tue, 20 Apr 1999 12:53:44 -0400

Use a SAX interface to access the characters of the text file. Sounds like you
might know the enclosing tag names too (<BODY> ... </BODY>), so you might
be able to narrow the search somewhat. In any case, SAX will present the 
characters
as a stream for filtering.
