Appending DocType to existing XML through VB script

Hi,

I want to append below DocTYpe

"<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//NPG//DTD XML Article//EN" "NPG_XML_Article.dtd">
after the tag "<?xml version="1.0"?>"

It should look like below. Please help me to come up with Vb Script for the same.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC "-//NPG//DTD XML Article//EN" "NPG_XML_Article.dtd">
<article id="474544c" language="eng" publish="issue" relation="no" origsrc="yes">

<p>Suspensions of swimming algal cells form intricate mottled patterns that are governed by a complex interplay between light, gravity and fluid dynamics. The patterns (<b>pictured</b>) change with shifting lighting conditions, which could one day be exploited to improve the yields of bioreactors that use algae to produce biofuel.</p>
<p>Rosie Williams and Martin Alan Bees of the University of Glasgow, UK, studied the patterns formed by suspensions of <i>Chlamydomonas augustae</i> cells in response to changes in the orientation and intensity of the light source. As overhead white light grew brighter, dense groups of cells first moved apart, then drew closer together. When the algae were lit from below, brighter light resulted in a shortening and then a levelling off of distances between dense cell groups.</p>
<p>Such pattern changes could be exploited to increase the penetration of light and nutrients to cell suspensions, and to concentrate cells for harvesting.<illusr rid="i1" align="left"/></p>

Thanks in Advance

One way, not involving XML/DOMdocument etc., is using FSO and Instr and Mid string functions to read and create the file as required.

Please elborate ..after appending the DOCType i need save the XML?

Please clarify

Thanks

Read file using FSO OpenTextFile and ReadAll, search for "<article " using Instr, construct new XML string using Mid and include Doctype string and write to a new file. Please Google the terms mentioned for examples.

Thanks for the idea .. I would have stuck for days to resolve this problem without your idea ....It works for me...Thanks Mate

Please find Working code:

Option Explicit

Dim objFSO, strTextFile, strData, strLine, arrLines,b,fh
'Const ForWriting = 2
Const ForReading = 1

'name of the text file
strTextFile = "C:\Documents and Settings\b.kajuluri\Desktop\474544c.xml"

'Create a File System Object
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

'Writing New XMl File
Set fh=objFSO.CreateTextFile("C:\create.xml")

'Open the text file - strData now contains the whole file
strData = objFSO.OpenTextFile(strTextFile,ForReading).ReadAll

'Split the text file into lines
arrLines = Split(strData,vbCrLf)
'b=uBound(arrLines)
'wscript.echo "File Elements " & b
arrLines(0)=arrLines(0)& vbCrLf & "<!DOCTYPE article PUBLIC '-//NPG//DTD XML Article//EN' 'NPG_XML_Article.dtd'>"


'Step through the lines
For Each strLine in arrLines
fh.writeline strLine
Next

'Cleanup
Set objFSO = Nothing
