FileSplitter in 7.02- How do I use regex patterns to split X

Hi all,

I have an XML file that I pick up with a File Pick Up Service that contains multiple blocks of XML. I would like to split into multiple messages but have not been successful so far. Has anyone successfully used a file splitter on XML?

Example:

<Data>

     <Items>

          <Item type="1">

               <A></A>

               <B></B>

               <C></C>

          </Item>    

          <Item type="2">

               <A></A>

               <B></B>

               <C></C>

          </Item> 

    </Items>    

</Data>

I want to split the <Item> blocks into separate messages. I can't use the tags <Item> and </Item> for obvious reasons.

This causes an exception to occur in the service.

<splitter id="REGEXP_PATTERN_SPLITTER">
      <regexpPatternSplitter fullLinePatterns="true">
        <recordPattern recType="Data">
          <start inclusive="true">.Item</start>
          <end>/Item.</end>
        </recordPattern>  
      </regexpPatternSplitter>
</splitter>

<splitter id="REGEXP_PATTERN_SPLITTER">
      <regexpPatternSplitter fullLinePatterns="true">
        <recordPattern recType="Data">
          <start inclusive="false">&lt;Item</start>
          <end>/Item&gt;</end>
        </recordPattern>  
      </regexpPatternSplitter>
</splitter>

Exception:
