That's why we asked more specific questions, but you never answered them.
So then I gave you the assignment of answering all our unanswered questions, but you haven't done that up until now, so basically, we are waiting (but not holding our breath) for your answers, before accepting new questions. :(

OK I start again:

That finally makes some sense. Here is an example solution for putting that into a .csv formatted file.

The problem with that is that I do not always know the node tree hierarchy and also it may change per record! That's why I cannot use the node tree hierarchy to extract a value, but I can use a guess of it, if that helps, eg //NODE1/*/NODE3/ ?

It doesn't even look a teensy bit like this new data you've given just now, are you playing us?

It looks the same to me??? Only the attribute names and values change. But again, the records do not contain the same attributes and in the same order. There can be some basic rules that all records follow, but unfortunately the data structure is not consistent, that's why I want to use regex, to include some fuzziness in matching!

Also, I still have not figured out how to make Powershell match . any character including newline... Any hint?
