Getting Data In

unable to get XML to parse correctly

Got an XML file that for the life of me I can not get parse correctly. I have tried to use LINE_BREAKER on the 1st line, on '(greaterthan)ErrorMessage' and also tried to 'MUST_BREAK_AFTER' '(greaterthan)/ErrorMessage(lessthan)'. What happens is that it keeps breaking at (using example data below) '(greaterthan)Cookie Name='starttime' Value='10/26/2018 10:10:36 AM'/(lessthan)' so what should be 1 events gets broken into 2.
