hi SF,

There is a COM package, whose members are readily usable from script.

Dim xmlHTTP : Set xmlHTTP = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")

It is well documented on msdn:

http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/xmlsdk/html/xmmscXML.asp

and, other websites:

http://www.4guysfromrolla.com/webtech/110100-1.shtml

In fact, if you know how to search the newsgroup archive, you can find
example code postings from this very newsgroup!!!

cheers, jw

Thanks for the reply. I just read the link which you had sent. The links
talks about posting the data to th website.

I have around 1500 xml files in the folder which composes a book. The way it
should work is if the user types a keyword in a search box
for example Test in the search box it should search all the 1500 XML files
and return the name of only those xml files which have Test in the xml
document. Please suggest if the above component whic you have suggested will
work in my scenario.

thanks,

You might want to check out LogParser. Don't let the name fool you, =
it's useful for a lot more than log files, including XML. If you =
already have some knowledge of query language the learning curve will be =
shorter.
