When I look closer at the XML, I realise that I myself had
misinterpreted my needs.  Inside the XML, there is a portion where the
value are coded as (eg):

        <NameValuePair>
            <name>Name</name>
            <value>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</value>
        </NameValuePair>
        <NameValuePair>
            <name>Address</name>
            <value>xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx</
value>
        </NameValuePair>
        <NameValuePair>
            <name>Telephone</name>
            <value>xxxxxxxx</value>
        </NameValuePair>
        <NameValuePair>
            <name>Comments</name>
            <value/>
        </NameValuePair>

Name=3Dxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Address=3Dxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Telephone=3Dxxxxxxxx
Comments=3D

So are there any tools that can do this ?  Thanks.
