I really need it asap. Hope someone can help me. Thanks!

If you have the whole XML on ONE line (a very simplified non bullet-proof approach) :
nawk -f ay.awk ay.xml
ay.awk:
Code:
BEGIN {
   FS="[><]"
}
{
  for(i=8; i<=NF; i+=2) {
          if ( $i ~ /^[/]/ ) continue
          printf("name->[%s] value->[%s]\n", $i, $(i+1))
  }
}

If you have your XML in a different format, pls post the sample using vB-code tags.

xml-rpc-api2cpp

XML-RPC-API2CPP(1)					      General Commands Manual						XML-RPC-API2CPP(1)

NAME

       xml-rpc-api2cpp - Make a C++ wrapper class for an XML-RPC API

SYNOPSIS

       xml-rpc-api2cpp server-url remote-method-prefix c++-class-name

DESCRIPTION

       xml-rpc-api2cpp queries an XML-RPC server using the XML-RPC Instrospection API designed by Edd Dumbill.	It then prints a C++ wrapper class
       to standard output.  This class can be used with xmlrpc-c's C++ API.

       You can find a list of supported XML-RPC server libraries (and patches for many others) at http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/hacks.php.

OPTIONS

       server-url
	      The name of the server to query.	Try http://xmlrpc-c.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/interop.cgi.

       remote-method-prefix
	      The prefix of the methods to wrap.  For example, to wrap all the system.* calls, you could specify "system".

       c++-class-name
	      The name of the C++ class to generate.  Try "SystemProxy".

BUGS

       xml-rpc-api2cpp can't talk to certain PHP servers based on Edd Dumbill's PHP library, because the trailing bytes of the XML-RPC message get
       truncated in HTTP pipelining mode.  It's not clear whether this is a PHP, Apache or w3c-libwww bug.

       xml-rpc-api2cpp assumes that method descriptions are ASCII text, not HTML as specified in the standard.	(In practice, both conventions are
       often seen.)  It may also get unhappy if method descriptions contain "*/".

       In general, error messages and diagnostics are still fairly poor.

SEE ALSO

       xmlrpc-c(7), xml-rpc-api2txt(1).

       This program is part of xmlrpc-c.
