Input Output XML Parse

Hi, i'm looking for a way to search a directory for workflows and cycle through them all and extract all of the inputs (connections and the sql queries) and Outputs. I've tried using XML Parse but cant be certain i'm hitting all the correct terms. Effectively what i'm looking for is the equivalent of what you see in the Options>Advanced Options> Workflow Dependencies view. I have about 100 workflows in the directory so imagine a macro will be needed. Can anyone help me out?

Hi Alexnajm, no i have the tool but cant get the data in correct format to read as xml. Tried the blob advice linked to the tool but no luck. Any more help appreciated.

It worked for me - Directory tool with workflows to parse --> Blob Input Full Path --> Blob Convert Blob field --> Workflow XML Parser. What exact issue are you facing? Please post screenshots
