Extract information into large variable

Hello people Smilie

That's here my first message to your forum, so I guess it would be fine ^^

I have a request about a code I want to use.

Actually, my system use a large variable, including much informations but those informations can change by more and I want to extract one of thoses informations.
For exemple I want to extract the information between
Code:
<add key="LevelName" value="

and
Code:
" type="System.String,mscorlib" />

and use it as a new variable

levelname=$(codeforextractinformationhere)

Here is an exemple of my large variable =>

Code:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16" standalone="yes"?> <values> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="Log" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="Admin" value="true" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="LevelName" value="blabla" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="Fastdisk1" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="Fastdisk2" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="Fastdisk3" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="backupinterval" value="300" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="" value="true" type="System.String,mscorlib" /> <add key="backupeverything" value="false" type="System.String,mscorlib" /></values>
