Please, please... tell me that XML is not real and you're just kidding. Even though you haven't posted the XML, I'm bringing my deductive faculty into action. I just can't come to terms with the implication that the value of one attribute tells you in which attribute the last name will be. No wonder you have to check whether a secondary node exists or not !! And what in the world does "LastName2" stand for ? Whoever has two last names ?
Anyway, over with the rant, you could simply put the value of the "FieldTitle" attribute into a variable. Then determine the value of the attribute by that name. That is, of course, if you can get the genius who designed the XML to do away with the spaces between "Last" and "Name" and "2". P.S.: If you designed the XML (no offense) or have control over its format, post a sample (over at Pastebin) and we'll help you redesign it.
