How about this?

Code:
awk -F' ' '/<!\[CDATA/,/\]\]>/ {if(!/^\]/)print $(NF>2?2:1)}' file

An alternative to awk, if the file is a well formed XML document, is to transform the file using an XSL stylesheet.
Code:
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns:xsl="http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform" version="1.0">

   <xsl:output method="text"/>

   <xsl:template match="/">
      <xsl:apply-templates select="//Data"/>
   </xsl:template>

   <xsl:template match="Data">
      <xsl:copy-of select="."/>
   </xsl:template>

</xsl:stylesheet>

xsltproc stylesheet file produces
Code:
Data1|1|2|3
Data2|4|5|6
Data3|3|5|6|7

Here you go:
Code:
sed '/>$/d; s/.*\[ //' myfile.xml

I presume there will always be a space after [ .
If not remove the space.
