I have xml logs as below where I am trying to write a Splunk search to do a search where entry=01 and result = Done

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<transaction name="test" version="1">
    <request>
        <id>123</id>
        <entry>01</entry>
    </request>
</transaction>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<transaction name="test" version="1">
    <response type="valid">
        <result>WIP</result>
</transaction>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<transaction name="test" version="1">
    <request>
        <id>123</id>
        <entry>02</entry>
    </request>
</transaction>
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<transaction name="test" version="1">
    <response type="valid">
        <result>DONE</result>
</transaction>

If you just want to filter the events you can use this,
Index=yourIndex sourcetype=yourSourcetype "01" OR "DONE"

The above query will filter the events and display only events having entry=01 and result = Done.
Let me know if you are expecting a different answer...

Do you get each <transaction> block as separate event?
