I was thinking of the same concept as Peter prior to seeing the file (have been in a meeting the last few hours).  You can create a qvw that reads this file loads jsut the column with the xml and saves the file with just the one column.

You can then re-read the new file containing the single column and specify it contains xml - you could do this in teh same qvw or create another one so you are breaking out your tansformation process in the different qvws

when you parse the file and specify exml, it should allow you to reference the specific fields within the laod statement

if you have or can crate a file with just the xml, it would be fairly simple to show

So is only possible to use string manipulation to get the data.

Yes Marco, there is no "field" type of XML, only a "file" type.

Take your pick from the solutions above.

No it is not only possible to use string manipulation but in some cases it is easier.
