While executing the below query i get the output as
"B = "12""

SELECT
extractvalue(value(x) ,'/C')
FROM
TABLE(XMLSequence(extract(xmltype
('<A>
<C> B = "12" </C>
</A>'),'/A/C')))x

But my actual requirement is to retireve the value "12"

How to achieve it,

I tried out the below query but its not working,

SELECT
extractvalue(value(x) ,'/C/@b')
FROM
TABLE(XMLSequence(extract(xmltype
('<A>
<C> B = "12" </C>
</A>'),'/A/C')))x

You got the correct result, the value of element C is 'B = "12"'.
Now if you want to extract some part of this value (which is no more a XML question) use substr+instr or regexp functions.

Consider this below xml for eg,
<A>
<C> B = "12" D = "13"</C>
<C> B = "14" D = "15"</C>
</A>

Is there any method to project the above xml as below with out using substr or instr functions?

B D

12 13
14 15

There is no XML function way as once you extract the values (those between <C> and </C>) it is no more XML.
So you have to use either substr/instr or regexp functions.
