Read XML file in VB6 2

[Terabithia]

I need to get specific data from an XML file into an array in VB6. What is the preferred way to do this? Parse through the file until I find what I need?

Look into DOM.

You can manually parse it, use a SAX2 parser, or if the XML is small you can let a DOM library to parse it into a heavyweight DOM object.

MSXML implements both SAX and DOM, but there are many 3rd party libraries too. The topic can get a lot more complicated if you need to validate against a schema or handle namespaces and related tag prefixes.
