Question

I know that in vbscript we can use documentElement.SelectNodes() to select multiple xml nodes such as in the following example,

<Vocabulary> 
 <Word type="noun" level="1"> 
  <English>cat</English> 
  <Spanish>gato</Spanish> 
 </Word> 
 <Word type="verb" level="1"> 
  <English>speak</English> 
  <Spanish>hablar</Spanish> 
 </Word> 
 <Word type="adj" level="1"> 
  <English>big</English> 
  <Spanish>grande</Spanish> 
 </Word> 
</Vocabulary>

Using:

Set NodeList = objXMLDoc.documentElement.selectNodes("Word/English") 

But how can the same be done for nodes without a closing tag that instead use a self-closing bracket:

<Vocabulary> 
 <Word type="adj" level="1"> 
  <English Text="big" />
  <Spanish Text="grande" />
 </Word> 
</Vocabulary>

Basically I need to get an array of nodes like this, and loop through getting the attribute value ‘Text’, for instance.

Answer 1

If I understand correctly , same thing.
Think of the objXMLDoc.documentElement.selectNodes(“Word/English”)(index) such as your array.
An example prints the Text attributes:

Set NodeList = objXMLDoc.documentElement.selectNodes("Word/English")
For i = 0 To NodeList.length - 1
    WScript.Echo NodeList(i).getAttribute("Text")
