Irv:

   How about keeping a sequence list of tags.
   constant tags = {<NAME>,<STATE>,..etc}
   Then search for a line for first '<'
   Then build another sequence of characters until see '>' or EOL.
   if we see the EOL then process this line and start over again.
   if we see '>' then you are formed sequence to find if it
   exists in the tags sequence, if it does then its sequence
   offset position could also be made to tell us how to process
   the that tag line. if no tag is found then just process the
   line as it belongs to the prior tag.
