Extract Table in Event

Hi Community!

I have a problem to extract a table in an XML event.

The data looks like this

 

 

<data type="info" text="sales:
    VW;1;30.000;
    Bentley;1;70.000;
    Seat;1;15.000;
   Dacia;1;10.000;
   Fiat;1;20.000;
">
<customer>Mr.X</customer>
<time>2020-11-28 16:21:00</time>
</data>

 

 



Now I want to have the fields for cartype, quantity and price (VW;1;30.000;).
So that I can summarize the whole sellings from one day.
Could you please help me with that?

Thank you very much!
Rob

HI ITWhisperer!

Thank you very much for your answer, whith it I have an overview about my data.

Now I have a second question, regarding the prices.
It seems if there are more than 1 matches, the data will be stored like an array in the field.
If I export it to an csv it looks like this:

VW,2,30.000,0000
25.000,0000,

I have tried to round the price to a 2 digit value after the comma, but this does not work.

How can I grab each item in the field and modify it with an eval command?

Regards
Robert

It's the same like above except that the prices has multiple decimal places after the comma.

<data type="info" text="sales:
    VW;1;30.000;
    Bentley;1;70.000,000000;
    Seat;1;15.000,000000;
   Dacia;1;10.000,000000;
   Fiat;1;20.000,000000;
">
<customer>Mr.X</customer>
<time>2020-11-28 16:21:00</time>
</data>

Just add a comma to the exclusion list for the price.
