Hi,

I have a logfile with the following syntax:

2011-10-13 09:34:29,309 [-] [HttpClientWorker-9]  INFO LogMediator To: http://www.w3.org/2005/08/addressing/anonymous,WSAction: ,SOAPAction: ,MessageID: urn:uuid:11111111111111111-222222222,Direction: response,AdjustAccountOutSeqEntry = <soapenv:Body xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"><AdjustAccountResultMsg xmlns="http://www.huawei.com/bme/cbsinterface/cbs/accountmgrmsg">
        <ResultHeader xmlns="">
        <CommandId xmlns="http://www.huawei.com/bme/cbsinterface/common">AdjustAccount</CommandId>
        <Version xmlns="http://www.huawei.com/bme/cbsinterface/common">1</Version>
        <TransactionId xmlns="http://www.huawei.com/bme/cbsinterface/common">1111111111</TransactionId>
        <SequenceId xmlns="http://www.huawei.com/bme/cbsinterface/common">1111111111</SequenceId>
        <ResultCode xmlns="http://www.huawei.com/bme/cbsinterface/common">222222222</ResultCode>
        <ResultDesc xmlns="http://www.huawei.com/bme/cbsinterface/common">There is not enough money in the account.</ResultDesc>
      </ResultHeader>
       <AdjustAccountResult xmlns="" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:nil="true" />
    </AdjustAccountResultMsg></soapenv:Body>

How do I get the SequenceId, ResultCode and ResultDesc values?

It really should be a matter of just running | xmlkv. If for some reason it's not working (I don't know why not, sorry) and you're looking for just any way to make this work, you could extract the fields and values manually with rex, like so:

| rex "<SequenceId [^>]+>(?<SequenceId>[^<]+)"

(and so on for the rest of the values as well)
