I know I could spend a few weeks reading all the documentation, or maybe someone will throw me a fish!  I'm a retired, volunteer webmaster, and I'll never use this stuff...

I have an RSS feed that includes a list of raw values that looks something like this:

<item>Value1=xxxx Value2=yyyy Value3=zzzz</item>

I'd like to parse the individual values so I can format them to my liking, for example, I'd like me output to look like:

"During yyy, zzz occurred xxx times"

I've been playing with XSL and "string-before", etc. and it's pretty painful, because everytime I try something (that's wrong) I get a DNN critical error, which removes the Edit Newsfeed menu item, which means I can't easily point the stylesheet to a working one.  Lots of renaming, deleting, and waiting for the file manager to allow me to overwrite the bad file.

Could someone provide a sample of how I could do this?  I always work best from example, so a link to a vaguely similar problem would be just as good.

Thanks in advance!
