        <action actual="0xEF" msg="GENERAL.GROUPING.TRANSACTION_ID" time="00:00:00.826" type="SET" />
        <action actual="0xGH" msg="GENERAL.GROUPING.ORIGINATOR_SYSTEM_TITLE" time="00:00:00.827" type="SET" />
        <action actual="0xIJ" msg="GENERAL.GROUPING.VALUE" time="00:00:00.827" type="SET" />
        <action actual="0xKL" msg="GENERAL.GROUPING.TITLE.LENGTH" time="00:00:00.827" type="SET" />
        <action actual="0xMN" msg="GENERAL.GROUPING.TITLE.VALUE" time="00:00:00.828" type="SET" />
        <action actual="0xOP" msg="GENERAL.GROUPING.DATE" time="00:00:00.828" type="SET" />
    </inputs>
</properties>

I want to return attribute value of actual="0xAB" when attribute msg="GENERAL.GROUPING.TAG". So depending on attribute 'msg' value I want to print attribute 'actual' value Kindly help in this issue with example.

You can use this XPath-1.0 expression:

//action[@msg='GENERAL.GROUPING.TAG']/@actual

It returns the attribute value 0xAB.
