I want to access data, which was written into a GDB by xml.compile()

This results in numbered items like these

myodb.html.["00001000\twindow"].["00004000\tname"]

Unforunatly I can't forsee with what number the "name" item will be prefixed with (00004000 or 00001000 or something else). The prefixing is necessary to avoid doubling of names. So the prefix-number of my "name" object may vary!

I now have a script, which needs to access the items by its suffix - e.g. I know just the itemname "name", but not the number it has got by the xml.compile() script.

How can this be done?
