There is this in strtok (any version)

global function getxml(sequence record, sequence starttag, sequence 
endtag, integer tagnum)

You don't haveto fill in all the parms, see the comments in the .ew file, i 
didn't doc it in the readme. I have used this, pretty much unchanged, since i 
first wrote it in 1992 or so in Turbo Pascal.
