How to retrieve data from array where inside the array you have xml data?

Imagine I have array as below

myArray holds two values as

0: <maintenanceshortterm type="System.Int32">1111</maintenanceshortterm>
1: <maintenanceshortterm type="System.Int32">1234</maintenanceshortterm>

I want to retrieve the values 1111 and 1234 using jQuery/JS only.

Please please help me how I can retrieve values like that? You can probably guess that that values inside the array are actually coming through xml.

also you could make use of the string split mehtod

var arr = new Array('<some xml ...>1111</>', '< some xml...>1234</>');

//split the first string by '>'
var firstItem = arr[0].split(">");
//firstItem now contains "<some xml ...", "1111", ""
//want item at index 1
document.writeln(firstItem[1]);

//likewise for the second value

Assuming each item is only a maintenanceshortterm and there's no nested structure or anything, a simple regex would do it:

const arr = [
'<maintenanceshortterm type="System.Int32">1111</maintenanceshortterm>',
'<maintenanceshortterm type="System.Int32">1234</maintenanceshortterm>'
];
console.log(
  arr.map((str) => str.match(/>([^<]+)</)[1])
);
