Hi All,

I have a Events List, and a Players list.

An Event can have players:  
\<profilename\>Scottie Naoise\</profilename\>  
\<profilename\>Kenny Hubert\</profilename\>

Whilst the Player list contains all the players:  
\<profilename\>Scottie Naoise\</profilename\>  
\<profilename\>Nicholas Amédée\</profilename\>  
\<profilename\>Ulrich Cai\</profilename\>  
\<profilename\>Lennie Kentigern\</profilename\>  
\<profilename\>Xander Déodat\</profilename\>  
\<profilename\>Kenny Hubert\</profilename\>  
\<profilename\>Lieven Marcellin\</profilename\>  
\<profilename\>Yanick Isidore\</profilename\>

```auto

    trace("profilename player" + xml..profilename)
    trace("profilename event" + xml..player)

```

How can I compare both lists to load up the matching Players?

Thanks,  
Ian
