Hi I can see your logic.. however the input for my xpath query is an object (I can do a sprintf on the input $var1, which I may need also). $result = $anything->xpath("//ROW[$var1 > $var2]"); I've tried to ereg_replace the quotation marks out of the object... but no go. So the question is how to get quotation marks out of on object containing this: <__LogicalDisk_C_____Disk_Time_>"8.0669532236989439e-006"</__LogicalDisk_C_____Disk_Time_> <__LogicalDisk_C_____Free_Space_>"72.189023431357128"</__LogicalDisk_C_____Free_Space_> Cheers Dave.
