Here is an example of my xml file (there are over 29000 like this): 
  <Header>
    <IpNumber>AC_1234</IpNumber>
  </Header>
    <ContentElement>
      <IdNumber>yyyyyyyy-yy</IdNumber>
      <InstanceNumber>001463010000016</InstanceNumber>
    </ContentElement>
    <ContentElement>
      <IdNumber>zzzzzzzz-zz</IdNumber>
      <InstanceNumber>0000000000000000</InstanceNumber>
    </ContentElement>
    <ContentElement>
      <IdNumber>xxxxxxxx-xx</IdNumber>
      <InstanceNumber>111111111111111</InstanceNumber>
    </ContentElement>
    <ContentElement>
      <IdNumber>aaaaaaaaa-aa</IdNumber>
      <InstanceNumber>222222222222222</InstanceNumber>
    </ContentElement>

the code i wrote was just a little part, but i have multiple istance of ContentElement and I have to solve the problem on all the tags of xml. But I'll try to modify my code with the your. I have splitted the open/close in write because when i started to implement the code i was a newby (maybe I'm still newby).
