    VB script for Parsing XML attributes

    HI,

    I am trying to develop a script which can parse all nodes/elements and its attributes of an XML.


    I am able to read all nodes/elements but not attributes of it like
    <article id="474544c" language="eng" publish="issue" relation="no" origsrc="yes">

    Can you please help me to going in parse all elements/attributes of XML given below

    My XML:
    ------

    <?xml version="1.0"?>
    <article id="474544c" language="eng" publish="issue" relation="no" origsrc="yes">
    <entity-declarations>
    <entity id="illus1" url="474544c-i1.0.jpg"/>
    </entity-declarations>

    <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>

    My VB script Code:
    ------------------
    Dim goFS
    Set goFS = CreateObject( "Scripting.FileSystemObject" )
    Dim sDir
    sDir = "C:\work"
    Dim oXDoc
    Set oXDoc = CreateObject( "Msxml2.DOMDocument" )
    oXDoc.async = False
    Dim oFile
    For Each oFile In goFS.GetFolder( sDir ).Files
    WScript.Echo "looking at", oFile.Name
    WScript.Echo "will load", oFile.Path
    If oXDoc.load( oFile.Path ) Then
    WScript.Echo "successfully loaded", oFile.Name
    End If
    Next
    Set ndlEventId = oXDoc.documentElement.selectNodes("//*")
    for i = 0 to ndlEventId.length-1
    WScript.Echo ndlEventId(i).nodeName & " :: " &ndlEventId(i).text
    If ndlEventId(i).text="" Then
    s=ndlEventId(i).nodeName
    WScript.Echo s
    Set attrvalue=oXDoc.getAttribute(s)
    WScript.Echo attrvalue
    End if
    Next


    Thanks in advance

    Re: VB script for Parsing XML attributes

    Try incorporating this into your code:
    Code:
    For j = 0 To ndlEventId(i).attributes.length - 1
      Wscript.Echo "Attribute " & ndlEventId(i).attributes(j).name & " = " & ndlEventId(i).attributes(j).value
    Next
