</entry>
I need to go through all the <entry></entry> tags and find every one that has "KJAN" within the <value></value> tags.
After this, the drop down menu would then display "KJAN.SV.W.0188" (This is also located within the <value> tags, and would always come after "O.NEW."), for example. This would be displayed for every entry that matches the KJAN criteria listed above.
Any ideas?
Thank you!
