Thank you very much, in this case I need to get the second number, but when I put it in a for each it brings me a whole string:04895728000180 How do I get just the numbers without using regex, how? ---

we would loop over the descendants return `xDoc.root.Descendants(xnsDefault + "CNPJ").` Or Access directly the second one Or catch all values Find some samples: ![grafik](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/uipath/original/4X/a/f/b/afb52fa6181487461665dd051ea4456c00539eff.png) ---
