    Hello,
    i’m trying to import an XML file with the following structure for attributes:

    <Filter>
Color>Red|Brand>Lee|Size>42|
</Filter>

    i’m not used to work with one-line attributes…how can i achieve to separate these and insert them to 3 different attributes (color,brand,size already exists)
    thank you

    Hi @frarad,

    You can use a custom PHP function to fetch the attribute values from that string: https://www.wpallimport.com/documentation/developers/custom-code/inline-php/. Example function:

    function my_get_attr( $attrs = '', $fetch = '' ) {
	if ( empty( $attrs ) || empty( $fetch ) ) return;
	$attrs = explode( '|', $attrs );
	$attrs = array_filter( $attrs );
	
	foreach ( $attrs as $att ) {
		$att = explode( '>', $att );
		if ( $att[0] == $fetch ) {
			return $att[1];
		}
	}
}

    Example usage:

    [my_get_attr({Filter[1]},"Color")]
[my_get_attr({Filter[1]},"Brand")]
[my_get_attr({Filter[1]},"Size")]
