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

Hi,
You must be aware of using xml DOM obj, this is the simplest way to read from the XML node

Set objDoc = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
objDoc.async = False
objDoc.load("file.xml") or objDoc.LoadXml(xmlString)

Set Node = objXMLDoc.documentElement.selectSingleNode("Parent Node/NodeTextToRead")

response.write Node.text
' reading the node value usiging text property
hope this will help you.
All the best.......
