VB.NET: Substring XML.....[Resolved]

[toytoy]

Say i have these XML tag:

<Books country = "USA" date= "21/1/2005"> 
      <Title section ="1"> 
          <Reference web = "www.any.com" topic = "1" /> 
      </Title> 
      <Title section ="1"> 
          <Reference web = "www.idea.com" topic = "2" /> 
      </Title> 
      <Title section ="2"> 
          <Reference web = "www.howTo.com" topic = "3" /> 
      </Title> 
      <Title section ="3"> 
          <Reference web = "www.do.com" topic = "4" /> 
      </Title> 
</Books>

how do i actually substring the "1" from the date attributes

Thanks
