Using ASP read xml string

itHighway · January 25th, 2005, 07:05 PM

I'm working on a shipping charges calculator gateway. The response string send by the gateway is in xml format.

<?xml version="1.0"?><version>2.0.0.0</version><shipmentID>88889</shipmentID><origination><name>Zeeshan Ahmed</name><weight unit="LB">3.0</weight><dimensions unit="IN"><length>1.0</length>

How can I read different nodes of xml string using ASP. Like suppose if I want to read "WEIGHT" from xml string. How can I read it?

Any Idea..
Any Help....

Will be appciated.

Thanks
Zeeshan Ahmed

The shipping system process all the data and then store the complete result into a variable "xmlString" and then send it to me.

So, I actually need to fetch the "WEIGHT" from "xmlString" variable and xmlString variable contains
<?xml version="1.0"?><version>2.0.0.0</version><shipmentID>88889</shipmentID><origination><name>Zeeshan Ahmed</name><weight unit="LB">3.0</weight><dimensions unit="IN"><length>1.0</length>

hi,
try with getxmlbytagname() method to get the value of weight.
