QTP: Using XML files

I saw a question in the MIC forums today about how to get at specific data located in an XML file. The user was wondering how she could get at in a hierarchy. She was loading her file, but not as an XML file.

I gave her a good example, and here's the key: It's really pretty easy:

Dim oXML

Set oXML = CreateObject(”Microsoft.XMLDOM”)

oXML.Load sPathToXML

<Do stuff>

Set oXML = Nothing

And that's it to load an XML file. Really.

Once you have the XML document loaded, you can use all kinds of functions to get at the data and mainpulate it. Too many QTP script writers seem reluctant to fully accept this approach, instead relying on the tool (I am not a fan of the tool based solutions) to try and get at what they need.

Yes, it does require learning a new discipline, but it is completely worth it.

Here's a great reference on what you can do with the XMLDOM once you have the file loaded.

using XMLUtil.createXML and loadfile I have loaded the XML file. Pls guide me how do I retrieve the attributes of the child? My code looks like this

Set objdoc=XMLUtil.CreateXML()
objdoc.loadFile = "C:\Test.xml"

set root = objdoc.GetRootElement()
set children = root.ChildElements()

set firstchild = children.item(1)
set secondchild = children.item(1).ChildElements()

For i = 1 to secondchild.count()
secondchild.item(i).ElementName()
Next

How will I get the attributes and the values of the secondchild.item(i).ElementName()

I have created xml and imported.
With name title properties i was trying to identify the object. i found that explicilty i have to add the properties in the Object propeties dialog box and then only it was showing me the associated value for that property in the Object propeties dialog box.
And then i was able to highlight the object.

Can anyone tell me how to avoid this manual selecting of the object properties after importing the xml?
Is there any setting i have to do in Object Repository Manager?
