Hi Glenn, Not sure what 'valid' means : what about "<a<b>>" ?? you should get "a","b" If so 'split' is probably not the path to the solution. But if not (i.e. <a<b>> is invalid ) why not

string[] Values = FileData.Split('<');

first then check values that are ending with a '>' Regards

Hi, 'HttpPostedFile' is not the thing you need , it stands for the file once it has been posted. I guess http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/system.net.webclient.aspx is what you are looking for
