Hi

For data Order Event, below are the values that are coming in XML:

> OrderType : Direct  
> OrderDate : 20190401

But the XML contains the field name and field values in below format:

```
<OrderEvent>
<FieldName>OrderType</FieldName>
<FieldValue>Direct</FieldValue>
<FieldName>OrderDate</FieldName>
<FieldValue>20190401</FieldValue>
</OrderEvent>
</OrderEvent>

```

Had it been ordertype and order date in tags I would have fetched it easily but here these are embeded in FieldName and FieldValue tags.

If I need to fetch order date then how should I proceed.

Thanks

        code => '
            k = event.get("[@metadata][FieldName]")
            v = event.get("[@metadata][FieldValue]")
            k.each_index { |x|
                event.set(k[x], v[x])
