Let me try this again.  Here's a sample line from the xml file I'm working
with:

<conDef> <name>Influenza</name><code>C12345</code><id>637</id>..............<
/condDef> 

I would like to search the file for the content of the <code>  tag.  Once the
code is located, the entire line  (everything from <conDef>  to </conDef>)
containing that code will be output.  Because the file is large,
speed/efficiency is important.

Thanks for the response.

Corey
