Hey GrandFather,
Thank you for the response. It does solve one of the problems and provides me exactly what i was looking to do. However, the reason changing the xx tag was to take care of the cases where multiple tags of the same xx value existing.
The perl hash i provided was a sample of the data i have and it has multiple xx values that repeat unfortunately, making it an illegal hash as it has multiple keys of same value, but that's how data is stored in it.
Thus I look forward to changing it to something like:

Option 1
<Function> <Name>XX</Name> ... ... </Function>

or

Option 2
<Function Name=""> ... ... </Function>

This way, I could ensure I was pulling in all of these instances.
Could you suggest something for the same?
Thanks,
Bugz
