How extract data from SOAP request?

Hey Guys,

I am working on a requirement where I have to extract the value of some nodes in XML which are in a name value pair. Those values are nothing but the products purchased from our website but the XML also contains other elements like discount code, additional products etc and I don't have a way to differentiate between those. I have attached a block of code from my XML which I am really interested in.

Is there a way to extract those values and then display the top products purchased/used from different events. I am interested in the 2 fields  productIdentifier and name

 

 

<ns3:orderItem>

Let me know if anyone has worked on this type of requirement before and if they can be of any help.

You could try something like this

| rex max_match=0 "(?ms)<(\w+:)?productIdentifier>(?<productIdentifier>[^<]+)</(\w+:)?productIdentifier>.*?<(\w+:)?name>(?<productName>[^<]+)</(\w+:)?name>"
| eval idName=mvzip(productIdentifier,productName)
| stats count by idName
| eval productIdentifier=mvindex(split(idName,","),0)
| eval productName=mvindex(split(idName,","),1)
