I made a working demo (I changed it to use classes so it would work with HTML).

function CsvReader(simName) {
    this.initFileName = "somepath";

    var context = this;
    $(simulationFiles).find('simulation').each(function() {
       if ($(this).attr("name") == simName) {
           context.initFileName += $(this).find("init").text();
           context.eventsFileName += $(this).find("events").text();
       }
    });
}
