Is there anything else you forgot to mention? 😀

| rex mode=sed "s/\<InfoNox_Interface xmlns:xsd=\"http:\/\/www\.w3\.org\/2001\/XMLSchema\" xmlns:xsi=\"http:\/\/www\.w3\.org\/2001\/XMLSchema-instance\"\>//g"

@ITWhisperer  Sorry but this is specific element and its placement is not necessarily to start of the data field.

So in short I need to remove anything that starts with <InfoNox_Interface and ends with >. 

below string should be replaced with nothing.

<InfoNox_Interface xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
