<div class="content wysiwyg-content">
I have XML in the following format...<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-28381833-1">&lt;xml&gt;
 &lt;machine id=&quot;512&quot;&gt;
  &lt;type name=&quot;Windows&quot; /&gt;
  &lt;external&gt;
   &lt;type name=&quot;Linux&quot; /&gt;
   &lt;type name=&quot;Apple&quot; /&gt;
  &lt;/external&gt;
 &lt;/machine&gt;
&lt;/xml&gt;</code></pre>
<br />
This XML is loaded into an object named OSystem. I query this as follows...<br />
<br />

<pre><code id="code-10-28381833-2">Set Nodes = OSystem.SelectNodes(&quot;/machine[@id='512']/&quot;)
Set Items = Nodes.getElementsByTagName (&quot;type&quot;)</code></pre>
<br />
This returns the Windows type element, I need a way to get all type elements at both the machine and machine/external level. So all 3 basically... <br />
<br />
Preferably if this can be done in one statement, but if two are needed and then the sets could be joined than this could be an option?

VBScript Query XML at multiple levels.

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.

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).
