How can I set a default to ignore a difference in a XML tag?

For Example:

<CREDAT>20161007</CREDAT><CRETIM>121059</CRETIM>
<CREDAT>20161007</CREDAT><CRETIM>128203</CRETIM>

I do not want to be noticed about a difference in the value between <CRETIM> and </CRETIM>

This is not XML-specific but you can ignore parts of lines (see Options | Text Compare) using a regular expression. In your case you can try something like this:

<CRETIM>.*</CRETIM>

careful, * is greedy - better use
<CRETIM>.*?</CRETIM>
(i.e. the non-greedy *? instead of the greedy *)
this handles the case that there are more than one CRETIM elements on a line.

Thank you both for your reply. I used <CRETIM>.*?</CRETIM> which works perfect.
