XML FILTERING(very urgent)

[nikhilparchure]

scenario i have a problem
[Filtering of an in-memory created XML node]

lets us have an example that will cite my problem
<XML>
<XYZ CORP>
<NAME>XYZ Corporation </NAME>
<YEARS>20 </YEARS>
<XYZ CORP>
<ABC LTD>
<NAME>XYZ Corporation </NAME>
<YEARS>17 </YEARS>
<ABC LTD>
</XML>

suppose my XML node is created in such a way

and i have to filter it such that i get company which has minimum years
i.e. i have to get a node corrosponding to &quot;ABC LTD&quot;

I am using XML Dom component for parsing this

well this can be doing looping thru the nodes and we can have have corrosponding node having minimum years

well do u have a solution where this can be done using some in-built XML function i.e to give the node which has minimum
years

Well the scenario seems eazy out here bcoz i have taken
only 2 nodes in consideration
but where i am coding i have about 1000 nodes created at a point of time. so looping will consume time

do u ppl have any remedy
pls help guys this is urgent

thanks in advance

Hi,

You can search the collection of nodes for a specific value using the selectSingleNode or selectNodes methods from the DomDocument object

To find a specific value anywhere in the document use the following syntax

set oNode = DomDocument.selectSingleNode("//YEARS[. = '20']")

I hope that this helps
