HI Team,  
I'm just working on new type of XML file. I have some array information in that file i want to gather all those data.. This array fields are repeating with same tags due to this while processing the log the i'm getting empty array value and help me to concat all the value and store in a field. Please find the sample code for your refrerence,

\<\_5:TelephoneCommunication\>  
\<\_5:ChannelCode\>Day\</\_5:ChannelCode\>  
\<\_5:CompleteNumber\>312\</\_5:CompleteNumber\>  
\<\_5:UseCode\>Day\</\_5:UseCode\>  
\</\_5:TelephoneCommunication\>  
\<\_5:TelephoneCommunication\>  
\<\_5:ChannelCode\>Evening\</\_5:ChannelCode\>  
\<\_5:CompleteNumber\>123\</\_5:CompleteNumber\>  
\<\_5:UseCode\>Evening\</\_5:UseCode\>  
\</\_5:TelephoneCommunication\>  
\<\_5:TelephoneCommunication\>  
\<\_5:ChannelCode\>Cell\</\_5:ChannelCode\>  
\<\_5:CompleteNumber\>231\</\_5:CompleteNumber\>  
\<\_5:UseCode\>Cell\</\_5:UseCode\>  
\</\_5:TelephoneCommunication\>

xml code to extract the info,

"//body/ProcessMessageResponse/payload/content/ConfirmBOD/ConfirmBODDataArea/RepairOrder/RepairOrderHeader/OwnerParty/SpecifiedPerson/TelephoneCommunication/ChannelCode/text()","user\_call\_mode",
