XML, Checking Record Existence...

[rjonesX]

I have a simple task...

Ive got a simple xml file with the following structure...

<addresses>
<contact>
<field id=&quot;email&quot;>
<field_value>russ@rjonesx.com</field_value>
</field>
</contact>
<contact>
<field id=&quot;email&quot;>
<field_value>another@rjonesx.com</field_value>
</field>
</contact>
</addresses>

Now I just need a simple ASP script that cycles through the &quot;contacts&quot; to see if an email exists. Such as...

search.asp?xml=another@rjonesx.com

if it finds the email address, it uses response.redirect(&quot;approved.html&quot

if not

response.redirect(&quot;register.html&quot

Any ideas?

selectSingleNode(&quot;//field_value/text() = '&quot;+xml+&quot;'&quot;

will return null/empty or something like that when it cant find any nodes that match the xpath expression.


hope that helps..
