get the value in an XML tag

[Deepthi Ramachandran Nair]

Hi All,
            
My xml is in the following format:
 
 
<root>
 
            <tag1 name="name1" id ="value1" />
 
            <tag1 name="name2" id="value2" />
            ......
 
</root>
 
 
I want to get both the values of name & id separately in a property or
buffer.
 
Any pointers for that...
 
 
Thanks in advance,
Deepthi Nair
