Thank you for the help.  I had been using REXML and it was working find
with one exception, it can be very slow.  So now I am trying to use
Nokogiri, and am running into a very simple error, I cannot load xml
files.  From the Nokogiri website I have been trying what is in their
tutorial:
f = File.open("blossom.xml")
doc = Nokogiri::XML(f)
f.close

But regardles of what I put in the ("...") it returns -
Error: #<Errno::EINVAL: C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp
8/Plugins/examples/auto.rb:11:in `read': Invalid argument -
c:ourwalls.xml>
or
Error: #<Errno::ENOENT: C:/Program Files (x86)/Google/Google SketchUp
8/Plugins/examples/auto.rb:11:in `read': No such file or directory -
fourwalls.xml>

If I am simply trying to open an XML file named file.xml located at C:\,
what would I put to open it?  I have tried many things such as f
=File.open("C:\file.xml") and what not with no luck.  What do I need to
do to open this?
