Retrieve the value of a XML attribute in VBS
vbscript, xml-attribute, xml-parsing
Solution
To answer your question, you can use the `getAttribute` function to access an attribute's value:
NodeList(i).getAttribute("Name")
You can also add a predicate to the XPath expression in your `SelectNodes` call to retrieve only the desired elements:
Set NodeList = objXMLDoc.documentElement.SelectNodes("//Parameter[@Name = 'DefaultServer' or @Name = 'DefaultDomain']")
This way, you don't have to retrieve and loop through the Parameter nodes that you're not interested in.
Problem
``` <Requirement Description="description" Operation="Configure"> <Action ID="1000" Name="Split"> <Contract> <Parameter Name="Version">4</Parameter> <Parameter Name="DefaultServer">192.168.00.</Parameter> <Parameter Name="DefaultUser">administrator</Parameter> <Parameter Name="DefaultPassword">password</Parameter> <Parameter Name="DefaultDomain">192.168.00.00</Parameter> <Parameter Name="Split">1</Parameter> </Contract> </Action> </Requirement> ``` From the above XML document my aim is to replace the IP address for both the attributes default server and default domain from a VBScript. ``` Set objXMLDoc = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM") objXMLDoc.async = False objXMLDoc.load(XMLFullPath) Set NodeList = objXMLDoc.documentElement.SelectNodes("//Parameter") NodeList(i).nodeName ``` Give name as Parameter and `NodeList(i).Text` gives me values like 4, IP address, administrator and others. But I am not able to get the attribute name so that I can directly change the value of the attribute.
