Initial Code 
// FileStream object used to open the file
var _fs : FileStream;
// RegExp to search for the characters tag
var _pickRegExp : RegExp = /<characters>(.*)<\/characters>/g;
// Array used to store the strings found
var tempArray : Array = [];

// loop through all the files in the Array
for each (var $file : File in $fileArr)
{
	// close the FileStream if it exists
	if (_fs != null) _fs.close();
		
		_fs = new FileStream();

		// open the file and read it's data, then close it again
		_fs.open($file, FileMode.READ);
		var data : String = _fs.readUTFBytes(_fs.bytesAvailable);
		_fs.close();
		
		// search through the data using the RegExp
		var result : Object = _pickRegExp.exec(data);
		
		// as long as there are results found the RegExp keeps searching
		while (result != null)
		{
			tempArray.push(result[1]);
			result = _pickRegExp.exec(data);
		}
	}
}

// returns a clean Array, cleared of all duplicates
