XML file: Save the below text in a notepad and save it as b.xml.
VBScript code: Save the below text in a notepad and save it as b.vbs.
Creating XMLDOM object and Loading it. The async property specifies whether downloading of an XML file should be handled asynchronously or not. True means that the load() method returns the control to the caller before the download is complete. False means that the download must be completed before the caller gets the control back.
set xmlDoc=CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")xmlDoc.async=false
xmlDoc.load("c:\b.xml")
The nodeName, nodeValue, and nodeType properties contain information about nodes.
msgbox("Nodename: " & xmlDoc.nodeName & vbNewLine & "nodetype: " & xmlDoc.nodeType)set x=xmlDoc.documentElement
msgbox("Nodename: " & x.nodeName & vbNewLine & "nodetype: " & x.nodeType)
set y=x.childNodes
for i=0 to y.length-1
a=a & " " & "Nodename: " & y(i).nodeName & " " & "nodetype: " & y(i).nodeType & vbNewLine
for z=0 to y(i).childNodes.length-1
b=b & " " & "Nodename: " & y(i).childNodes(z).nodeName & " " & "nodetype: " & y(i).childNodes(z).nodeType & vbNewLine
next
next
msgbox a
msgbox b
Now go to command prompt and run this above b.vbs file. Make sure the location of xml file in the b.vbs file (3rd line) is correct.
Following are the output message boxes for this particular code run.
