Process an XML file with parameters

Hello everyone,



I can't get to pass the second Node (secondNode) because It has a parameter with no value. The error is the following: msxml6.dll  Expected value. Do you have any idea how to bypass this?





Function XMLProcess




fileName = "C:\test.xml"


Set doc = Sys.OleObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0")


Call doc.load(fileName)


 


value = doc.selectSingleNode("/firstNode[@param=paramValue]/secondNode[@param=]/thirdNode/lastNode/").text



XMLProcess = value


 


End function

    If the error is "NodeTest expected here", you need to remove the trailing / after lastNode - as in my previous answer.



    If this doesn't help, can you post the actual XML file and XPath you're using?

    Hi Pierrick,



    You need to specify an empty string as the parameter value for secondNode:



    value = doc.selectSingleNode("/firstNode[@param='paramValue']/secondNode[@param='']/thirdNode/lastNode").text

    Hello Helen,



    I've already tried putting empty quotes but it still gives me the same error...

    That's it... I thought the NodeTest error came from a previous test where I had called the node "NodeTest".



    Well thank you Helen for your help
