Thank you, ThePorgie.
Unfortunately it doesn't work for me.
I should've said that there are many values using this syntax, like this:
<field>
<key1><![CDATA[NAME]]></key1>
<value><![CDATA[John Appleseed]]></value>
</field>
<field>
<key2><![CDATA[Company]]></key2>
<value><![CDATA[Google]]></value>
</field>
As you can see, there are two keys, but the very next line says *value* for
both of them. That is my main concern.
I want *value1* for each item on the list, but its defining *key* is in the
line above with that CDATA formatting.
Any ideas?
