I guess it didn't work to highlight or bold. I am looking for the value of the attribute "number".

What datatype is the string in? When I try and cast that as xml, I get an error as the 'xs' namespace isn't defined. And when you say you want the value of the attribute "number", what exactly are you expecting?

Here is the actual xml string. In this case I would expect to see *5558.
