Alrighty, I know this forum's filled with geeks and shit, so I need someone who can either tell me how to write an XML script to do this or just to generate the script for me:

code:

 
input XML1;
write XML1 -> XML3;
for (int i=0; i<XML2.numlines; i++)
  for (int j=0; j<XML3.numlines; j++)
    if (XML2.line(i).variable1 < XML3.line(j).variable1)
    {
       write XML2.line(i) between XML3.line(j-1) and XML3.line(j);
       break; 
     }

Basically, I just don't know what the syntax for doing that with XML would be.

I can't help you.

With that out of the way, on to a question which popped up in my head while reading this.

Isn't XML designed to be whatever the person writing it decides it to be?

code:

<plants>
  <fruit> Apple </fruit>
  <vegetable> Cucumber </vegetable>
</plants>

In other words, does such a thing as "XML scripting" exist? Does one not need to define which particular XML "dialect" (I'm sure there's a more appropriate word) one is using?

Does XML even do things like for and ifs? Is it not just a data structuring language?

Sorry for not being able to help out...
