How to create a list of specific information from Mame.exe

Hi all,
I am wanting to create a list of 'x & y resolution' data only of all games. Don't need to include game names or anything else.
For example:
100x120
102x124
160x120
200x150
etc....
I would also like this list to be sorted from biggest to smallest if possible?
I was going to use the -listinfo but it wasn't working for me so I am trying -listxml. I have tried editing the 'stylesheet' but I don't know how to get it to give me only the information I need.
Here's the main part of what I have at the moment but I need to cut it down more, can someone tell me how to change it to get what I need; (or any other way to get what I need)
Here is my current editing attempt of a stylesheet for xml2info.xsl:
http://pastebin.com/z94nrLfT
I am trying to do some calculations for an 'aperture.png' that can be used for all output resolutions that are a multiplication of original game resolutions. If I can at a quick glance get a look at all game resolutions this will help greatly.
Any help appreciated, thankyou.
*** Having trouble pasting the code to this post, anyhelp on how to do that as it's not showing up? ***
Edit: added code using pastebin

Just FYI: Some games change their resolution WHILE they are running.

Hmm, that does raise an interesting question, that I have no solution for.
At the end of the day it looks like the 'aperture.png' needs to be implemented in a way that can cope with final output display resolutions that can be different by 1 pixel (or the appropriate pixel size after magnification).
Most games I would probably run at a magnification of 3x or 4x so then 1 original game pixel is displayed as a 3x3 pixel or 4x4 pixel respectively.
Anyway, if using a magnification of 3x and also an aperture.png where 1 pixel is signified as a 3x3pixel, then that doesn't allow much room for detail or accuracy. When using a 2x magnification I don't think an aperture.png 1 pixel could be represented as a 2x2pixel;(the detail of rgb just can't be done).
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Sorry for rattling on there..
What resolutions are listed then? Just the initial resolution when first started?
Still it would be interesting to get a run down of the resolutions. It must be possible to get the list created, if someone that understands the code can have a quick look and point out which lines to remove to make the list only show resolution numbers only.
Sorting I imagine would be a little more difficult.

I've attached a stripped down XSL file that dumps out the screen type (raster/vector), followed by orientation (horizontal/vertical), followed by the screen resolution (adjusted for screen orientation).
I took the output from the modified XSL and sorted and removed duplicates using a text editor (UltraEdit), and I put that in the attached zip as well.
Note: I added a little code to left pad the screen size numbers so that they sorted in a sensible fashion. I couldn't figure out any simple way to sort them in the XSL, so I just did it after the fact, as I explained above.
Also, I used MAME 0.143 to do my testing, so the output file in the zip is only accurate for that version of MAME.

> Thankyou very much krick, that was absolutely fantastic!
You can do this at the command line, although it doesn't get rid of the duplicates
mame -listxml | find "width" | sort > yourfile.txt

I know how to sort simple things like by game name or some top-level node that all games have. However, the width/height are within a conditional section that depends on the game being horizontal or vertical orientation, so I couldn't figure out an easy way to sort within the xslt.
I made a decision about what my time was worth and decided that I should just sort and remove duplicates in 2 seconds with my text editor.

I swear MAME32/UI post-video re-write had this option in the folder tree. No longer, though.
