Help,Whats wrong with my XML file

I m trying to parse the xml file to obtain the data and print those data out. following is my xml file:

i need to use the less than symbol so it has to be written in "<" (green color) in XML but this cause the front part of the line unable to be captured. Also the green colour line is totally omited, unable to be captured. if i tried to remove the [ ] symbol and it seems to help.
However i still need the [] and < symbol in my printed output. what should i do? help
