Question

I’m using vb script and MSXML2.DOMDocument to parse a xml document.

Is it possible get a particular attribute by name instead of iterating over all the attributes?

Today I am doing this

For x = 0 To (curNode.Attributes.length - 1)
    sAttrName = curNode.Attributes.Item(x).nodeName
     if sAttrName = 'customer' then 
        avalue=curNode.Attributes.Item(x).nodeValue

but I want do something like this

 avalue=curNode.Attributes.Item("customer").nodeValue

Answer 1

Try getAttribute(), as in curNode.getAttribute("customer").

I’m assuming that curNode is an oXMLDOMElement, though you didn’t show its type.
