Here's a sample, how to select and delete a node using VBScript<br />
You need to correct it, placing the right &quot;ac&quot; namespace definition in the line 15<br />
I reads the source from a file named ac.xml<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-20-38337228-1">Option Explicit
Dim xml
set xml = CreateObject(&quot;Msxml2.DOMDocument.6.0&quot;)
xml.async = False
xml.validateonparse=false
xml.setProperty &quot;ProhibitDTD&quot;, false


' 1. read the XML
xml.load(&quot;ac.xml&quot;)
if xml.parseError.errorCode &lt;&gt; 0 then
   WScript.Echo &quot;Error: &quot; &amp; xml.parseError.errorCode &amp; &quot; Reason: &quot; &amp; xml.parseError.reason
end if
call xml.setProperty(&quot;SelectionLanguage&quot;, &quot;XPath&quot;)
call xml.setProperty(&quot;SelectionNamespaces&quot;, &quot;xmlns:ac='ac'&quot;)


' 2. Delete node
dim e, nm
set e = xml.documentElement.selectSingleNode(&quot;//ac:time[@status='63']&quot;)
if not e is Nothing then e.parentNode.removeChild( e )

WScript.Echo xml.xml</code></pre>

Delete a node in XML

Extensible Markup Language (XML) refers to the encoding of documents such that they can be read by both machines and humans. XML documents use tags to show the beginning and end of a set of data. XML is used extensively on websites to show volumes of data, and is the default for a number of office productivity suites. This topic includes discussions of XML-related technologies, such as XQuery (the XML Query language), XPath (the XML Path language), XSLT (eXtensible Stylesheet Language Transformations), XLink (the XML Linking language) and XPointer (the XML Pointer language).

JScript is Microsoft's dialect of the ECMAScript standard that is used in Microsoft's Internet Explorer. JScript is implemented as an Active Scripting engine, so it can be "plugged in" to OLE Automation applications that support Active Scripting, such as Internet Explorer, Active Server Pages, and Windows Script Host. It also means such applications can use multiple Active Scripting languages, e.g., JScript, VBScript or PerlScript.

JScript

VBScript (Visual Basic Scripting Edition) is an interpreted scripting language developed by Microsoft that is modeled on Visual Basic, but with some important differences. VBScript is commonly used for automating administrative and other tasks in Windows operating systems (by means of the Windows Script Host) and for server-side scripting in ASP web applications. It is also used for client-side scripting in Internet Explorer, specifically in intranet web applications.
