script help

[bilbonvidia]

Hi I need a script but can only write basic dos batch files.

I need to to look at a xml file locally say c:\folder\file.xml

read the client version number from the content of the file for channel a1 and a2

" <?xml version="1.0" ?>
- <ContentStatus xmlns:xsd="

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema"

xmlns:xsi="

http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"

Overall="Unknown" LastUpdate="2007-09-25T15:58:22.9966324+01:00">
<Subscription Id="2" Status="Unknown" Name="a1 Channel" ServerVersion="Unknown" ClientVersion="1" />
<Subscription Id="8" Status="Unknown" Name="a2 Channel" ServerVersion="Unknown" ClientVersion="2" />
</ContentStatus>"

then depending on the client version copy some files from a server where x is greater than the client version.

\\server\updates\
hello-2-x-a1_Channel.txt
hello-2-x-a1_Channel.txt
hello-2-x-a1_Channel.txt
hello-2-x-a2_Channel.txt
hello-2-x-a2_Channel.txt
hello-2-x-a2_Channel.txt

So for the xml file above only files hello-1-2-a1_Channel.txt and above would get copied and hello-2-3-a2_Channel.txt and above.

These files would get copied to c:\destination and not overwrite existing files of the same name.

Does that make sense?

Have a look for microsoft.xmlhttp or msxml. You can use that to read the xml and extract the fields.
