You're going to need to use XMLDocument2 | ServiceNow Developers

Something like

/* * Retrieves the attribute value from the given XML. * Params: * xmlDoc - XMLDocument2, XML document to parse * Returns: * String, attribute value or null if not found */ function getAttributeKey (xmlDoc) { var node = xmlDoc.getNode("/test/one/two"); if (node != null) { return node.getAttribute("att"); } else { return null; } } // Example usage: var xmlString = "<test>" + " <one>" + " <two att=\"xxx\">abcd1234</two>" + " <three boo=\"yah\" att=\"yyy\">1234abcd</three>" + " <two>another</two>" + " </one>" + " <number>1234</number>" + "</test>"; var xmlDoc = new XMLDocument2(); xmlDoc.parseXML(xmlString); var attribute = getAttributeKey(xmlDoc); if (attribute != null) { gs.info("The attribute value is: " + attribute); } else { gs.info("The attribute value is not found."); }

@Suyash Joshi

What's the business requirement here?

You can use XML parsing or convert that XML to JSON and then parse the JSON

I want to print only element now (abcd1234, 1234abcd, another, 1234 ), My first requirement has fulfilled.
