HELP - Find text / Replace with email link (XML or ASP.NET vb)???

[peakfx]

I'm new to both XML and ASP.NET (vb), but what I want to do doesn't sound like it should be

hard but I can't figure it out.

I have an excel file with one cell containing a paragraph of text. I have this data

exported as XML and loaded in an ASP.NET page using asp:Xml to display. This all works

fine, what I want to add is a script that will read the text that is exported and look for

a person’s name. If it finds their name, replace with an active HTML email link.

Is this possible?

Where should I do this? In the XML? As a separate ASP.NET (vb) script?

???

Thanks in advance for any help.
