Have a bool called inTitle and set it to false initially. As you're parsing the file, when you find an element called title, set inTitle to true, and when title ends set inTitle to false. When you check for the name element, also check if inTitle is true, if it is then you have the right name, if its not then you have the wrong name.

Thanks for the help... but i am looking for a better solution for this.

a better solution would be to change the XML so you dont have to deal with this issue. Rename one of the "name" tags to something else.

Look at NSXml for the Cocoa specific way of processing XML
