Hi, 

First of all - English is not my forte and I apologize in advance for mistakes
secondly - I always try to solve problems myself, but I have not dealt with xml and this problem is beyond my skills, although probably for someone with more skills it is a simple matter, so please help :)

I've got XML and I want to extract data from it into arrays. First array is from <Main> section, next arrays are from <Alternative> section -  number from <CountAlternative> informs how much "alternatives" are. In my xml file example: 1 main and 3 alternatives 

Arrays should look similar:

a) Main Array Columns :

Event(id) NumberPR InfoZ TITLE NumberS NumberT AS1 AS2 AS3 Video AE1 AE2 AE3 AE4 AE5  Copies CodeZ Band *[CD(id) CDN1 CDN2 CDN3 CDN4]

* Number of sets [CD(id) CDN1 CDN1 CDN3 CDN4] for each <Event> is in <NumberOfCD> node - can be from 0 to who knows ;) For simplicity, a maximum of 10 may be assumed, although it is better to check in XML file if possible.

b) Alternative 1 Array Columns:

Event(id) NumberPR InfoZ TITLE NumberS NumberT AS1 AS2 AS3 Video AE1 AE2 AE3 AE4 AE5  Copies CodeZ Band *[CD(id) CDN1 CDN2 CDN3 CDN4]

c) ...

 

If it were to be easier, it could be one array with all data.

Here a simple way to extract some of the tags : 

#include <Constants.au3>
#include <Array.au3>

Local Const $TAGS[] = ["<Event id=", "<NumberPR>", "<InfoZ>", "<TITLE>", "<NumberT>", "<AS1>"]

Local $sPattern = _ArrayToString($TAGS)
Local $aTag1D = StringRegExp(FileRead("Test.xml"), "(" & $sPattern & ")([^<>]*)", 3)

Local $aTag2D = _Array_Resize($aTag1D, 2)
_ArrayDisplay($aTag2D)

Func _Array_Resize(ByRef $aArray1d, $iColumns, $iStart = Default)
  If IsKeyword($iStart) Then $iStart = 0
  Local $iElements = UBound($aArray1d) - $iStart
  If Mod($iElements, $iColumns) <> 0 Then Return SetError(1, 0, False)
  Local $aArray2d[$iElements / $iColumns][$iColumns]
  For $i = 0 To $iElements - 1
    $aArray2d[Floor($i / $iColumns)][Mod($i, $iColumns)] = $aArray1d[$i + $iStart]
  Next
  Return $aArray2d
EndFunc   ;==>_Array_Resize

Once you got the 2D array, you can reformat at will.

Here's an example that processes the XML file using the XML UDF.  This is not meant to be complete a solution.  It is merely an example framework that you can learn from and build upon.  I tried to document it well enough for you to get a general idea of what each block of code is doing.  I also tried to give you an example of how you can process the different types of value structures that are in your XML file (single value, static number of sub values, dynamic number of sub values).  As you said is preferable, the logic handles a variable number of CD entries from 0 to how ever many there are.  It does so by creating an array of CD entries and placing that array as one of the array columns in the MainEvents array row.

  

#include <Constants.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
#include <xml.au3>
