XMLHTTP - screen scrape

Hi Experts,

I have the following xml file called "contacts.xml"

<xmp>
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<contacts>
     <contact>
          <field id="firstName" taborder="1">
               <field_value>richard</field_value>
          </field>
          <field id="lastName" taborder="2">
               <field_value>jones</field_value>
          </field>
          <field id="address1" taborder="3">
               <field_value>16 some street</field_value>
          </field>
          <field id="address2" taborder="4">
               <field_value>london</field_value>
          </field>
          <field id="phone" taborder="5">
               <field_value>123456</field_value>
          </field>
          <field id="email" taborder="6">
               <field_value>someemail</field_value>
          </field>
     </contact>
</contacts>
</xmp>


And I am loading it into a page called "scrape1.asp" which uses the "microsoft.XMLHTTP" object to retieve the XML data as follows:


<%@ Language = VBScript %>
<%
Response.Buffer = True
Dim objXMLHTTP, xml

Set xml = Server.CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
' Or, for version 3.0 of XMLHTTP, use:
' Set xml = Server.CreateObject("MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP")

xml.Open "GET", "http://myurl/xmlTests/contact.xml", False

xml.Send

'Display the HTML as text...
'Response.Write "<xmp>"
'Response.Write xml.responseText
'Response.Write "</xmp>"

'Or, render the HTML...
Response.Write xml.responseText
 
Set xml = Nothing

%>


The xml page is being rendered to the screen within scrape1.asp as expected. I have a couple of questions...


1.

How do I grab information from within the object based on the xml field name and stuff the results into a set of variables?


2.

I would also like to use this object to retrieve pure HTML pages. I would then like to grab information from the HTML pages using the regular expression object. Can you please give me an example of how to do this? An example of what I am tring to do would be:

HMTL = <td>price = £29.30</td>

VALUE IN VARIABLE = <% price %> (where price would = "29.30")




Thanks for you help...
