Extracting root-level attribute values

[Alex Vilner]

Dear netters,

We are parsing out XML data, using ExtractValue.
An example of what needs to be parsed is below:

<BinaryParameterType name="frameSyncType" shortDescription="Frame Synchronization Field" initialValue="0934">
<LongDescription><This is a long description</LongDescription>
<BinaryDataEncoding bitOrder="mostSignificantBitFirst">
<SizeInBits>
<FixedDecimalValue>13</FixedDecimalValue>
</SizeInBits>
</BinaryDataEncoding>
</BinaryParameterType>

Using extractValue, one can specify the Xpath as:
/BinaryParameterType/LongDescription
or
/BinaryParameterType/BinaryDataEncoding
or
/BinaryParameterType/BinaryDataEncoding/SizeInBits
...

However, how does one extract actual BinaryParameterType attributes, like name, shortDescription and initialValue?

Thank you for your help!
