Firstly split error-codes into separate events, then extract all the field attributes, then create new fields based on the attribute name

| makeresults 
| eval _raw="<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\" standalone=\"yes\"?>
<info xmlns:xsi=\"http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance\">
<error-codes>
<error-code code=\"000\" message=\"Exceeded\" severity=\"1\" InfoCode=\"0000\" action=\"\" description=\"\"/>
<error-code code=\"001\" message=\"Not Found\" severity=\"1\" InfoCode=\"0000\" action=\"\" description=\" nope\"/>
</error-codes>

</info>"



| spath path="info.error-codes" output=errorcodes
| eval _raw=errorcodes
| multikv noheader=t
| table _raw
| spath
| foreach "error-code{@*}"
    [| eval _name="<<MATCHSEG1>>"
    | eval {_name}='<<FIELD>>']
| rename error-code* as _error-code*
| table code message severity InfoCode  action description
