Hi,

I'm fairly new to RegEx and I need your help.

I process many XML files in my job. Most of them are formatted correctly, 
that is:
<key1>Value</key1>
<key2>Value</key2>

For those I search for values using:

<key1>.*?</key1>
And it works like a charm.

But then I have this one source that formats its XML files with CDATA 
fields like this:
<field>
    <key><![CDATA[NAME]]></key>
    <value><![CDATA[John Appleseed]]></value>
</field>
In this example they are trying to say that the value *NAME* is *John 
Appleseed*. Rather than putting it as a key/value pair, they do that weird 
syntax.

What GREP pattern can I use to extract all the names for this formatting?

I am open to other solutions, like BASH scripts and Applescript. I'm 
desperate.

Thank you for your help, friends.

🙂
