search in XML file

[joecool2005]

Hi,I have a directory that have 50 000 XML file.All the files have a tag like this

<name>John</name>

I want to search a file that has a specific name(i.e. Mike) but I always get a script timeout because I have to loop on each file.Do you know a fast way to search inside the XML file?

To put it simple - no.You can use a stream based parser (I think that, like in PHP, it was named XMLReader) to keep memory low, but you still need to search every file.
