the .plist file contains several entry with same names (string and key)
e.g.
<dict>
<key>CFBundleDevelopmentRegion</key>
<string>English</string>
<key>CFBundleDisplayName</key>
<string>mOTP</string>
<key>CFBundleName</key>
<string>mOTP</string>
So it seems that is then not possible to use the xml library. Anyway i will
read the values using line offset
put line lineoffset("<key>CFBundleDisplayName</key>",tPlist)+1 into ....
which then "returns" the string value of CFBundleDisplayName one line below.
This will work as long as the line with the <string>....</string> value is
directly after the line with the <key>.. values.
Thanks.
