XML = structure

XML is a mark-up language to describe and structure data. You can do programming in XML.

Programming language

Every programming language has function to manipulate string. Knowing that it should not be difficult to find a split()/tokenize() or similar function.

Manipulating XML is often done with XSLT, then you can use tokenize():

<xsl:variable name="text">223,23:50:45</xsl:variable>
<xsl:value select="tokenize($text, '[,:]')" />
