Extracting Values

Question

Should be an easy question, but I can't figure this one out.
How do you extract the "item id" and "filename" portions of the following xml document?
with text as (
select
'<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<resp stat="1">
        <item id="1234" filename="home.txt"/>
</resp>' as data
from dual)
select data from text;Running 10.2.0.5 of the database.
