Parsing a not regular log file

Hi,

I have a sample log file (like attached) and it has not a regular format in lines. It's breaking in middle of record suddenly.

How can I parse it?

Hi @Saraabdi955 

 

You can flag the 'Ignore XML Errors and Continue' and assign the value 'TagID' for the XML Child Element Name.

Please watch the new file attached.

I expect something like this:

 

TagID, Record
555, AAA
111, BB
666, CCC

Hi @Felipe_Ribeir0 

It's not correct. please pay attention the log file. The removed lines are part of the data and <Record> part.
