Wendell,
thanks for your patience. Here is a sample (attributes removed for
simplicity):
XML:
<SHOW>
<C1001>
<TITLE>I Picked a Daisy</TITLE> (ca. <UNITDATE>1960</UNITDATE>)
unproduced, lyrics by <PERSNAME>Alan Jay Lerner</PERSNAME>
<C1007>Note: the collaboration between Rodgers and
<PERSNAME>Lerner</PERSNAME> was terminated, Lerner subsequently
completed the show with <PERSNAME>Burton Lane</PERSNAME> and it
became <TITLE>On a Clear Day You Can See Forever</TITLE>.</C1007>
<C1011>see [Sketches for I Married an Angel]</C1011>
</C1001>
</SHOW>
I want this:
<TITLE>I Picked a Daisy</TITLE> (ca. <UNITDATE>1960</UNITDATE>)
unproduced, lyrics by <PERSNAME>Alan Jay Lerner</PERSNAME>
Thanks,
Mike F.
