# GetValue

The `<GetValue>` element stores the value of the current context field or attribute in a variable.

Attribute | Description
--- | ---
`var` | The name of the variable.

The following example stores the current field name and value in variables called "fieldName" and "fieldValue".

    <FieldStandardization>
        <Field nameRegex="startsWith.*">
            <GetName var="fieldName" />
            <GetValue var="fieldValue" />
        </Field>
    </FieldStandardization>

In this example the `<Field>` element uses a regular expression that could match multiple fields, so field standardization iterates over the list of matching fields (the variables only contain one field name or value at a time). This means that any operations that use the variables should be placed before the closing `</Field>` tag.
