@XMLGETATTR[["filename",],attributename] : Returns the value of the specified attribute.

 

If you do not specify a filename, @XMLGETATTR will use the file previously opened by @XMLOPEN.

 

You must set the XPath before calling @XMLGETATTR.

 

Example:

 

Bookstore.xml :

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

<bookstore>

<book>

   <title lang="jap">Harry Potter</title>

   <price>29.99</price>

</book>

<book>

   <title lang="eng">Learning XML</title>

   <price>39.95</price>

</book>

<book>

   <title lang="ger">Day Watch</title>

   <price>14.99</price>

</book>

<book>

   <title lang="eng">Winston Churchill: An Autobiography</title>

   <price>49.99</price>

</book>

</bookstore>

 

Bookstore.btm:

 

@ECHO OFF

SET a=%@XMLOPEN[bookstore.xml]

SET b=%@XMLNODES[/bookstore]

DO i = 1 to %b

       SET Title=%@XMLXPATH[/bookstore/book[%i]/title]

       SET Language=%@XMLGETATTR[lang]

       SET Price=%@XMLXPATH[/bookstore/book[%i]/price]

       ECHO %Title (in %Language) costs only %Price

ENDDO

SET c=%@XMLCLOSE[]

 

Running bookstore.btm outputs:

 

Harry Potter (in jap) costs only 29.99

Learning XML (in eng) costs only 39.95

Day Watch (in ger) costs only 14.99

Winston Churchill: An Autobiography (in eng) costs only 49.99
