Challenge #195: XML Parsing

[Verakso]

Interesting with an XML challenge, all though I used to love XML, I can really see why JSON has picked up as the "new standard".

I not sure me and the XML parser in Alteryx is going to be BFF's - simply miss my old ability to use XPath, and I almost ditched it completely and was about to do it all in RegEx, but then it wouldn't really have been a challenge

So here it is, first I fetch the <taxonpath> nodes. From there I split out and find the <source> node, and the <entry> node, and then I join those two together again.
Not the prettiest, but it did work

Can't wait to see what everyone else did! This was a great intro to XML parsing for me.

Had to refer to provided solution. But it was overall a good learning challenge.

Fun.  But I had to look at the structure in Notepad++ to find the elements that I was interested in

Not going to lie.. I'm not really sure how I got the result. I just kept adding tools and guessed as I went along based on the output of the previous tool. I will have to go back and review to make sure I understand why this works.
