XPATH Query by Attribute

[tlhawkins]

Hey all,

I'm fairly new to XML and I've run into a problem that I can't find and answer for on the web (I'm hope it's not impossible).

I have an XML file that looks something like:

<Root id=&quot;1&quot;>
  <FOLDER id=&quot;1&quot;>
    <DOCUMENT id=&quot;1&quot;/>
  </FOLDER>
  <FOLDER id=&quot;2&quot;>
    <DOCUMENT id=&quot;2&quot;/>
    <DOCUMENT id=&quot;3&quot;/>
  </FOLDER>
  <FOLDER id=&quot;3&quot;>
    <DOCUMENT id=&quot;4&quot;/>
  </FOLDER>
</Root>

I'm using VBSCRIPT with MSXML2.FreeThreadedDOMDocument.3.0

I need to select the folder with the id=1 with an XPATH query.

I've been using:

set Nodes = xmlDoc.selectNodes("//FOLDER&quot

and then looping through the Nodes looking for the correct ID, but it is giving me grief. It would be great if I could just select the correct folder with:

selectSingleNode(XPATH)

If someone could help I would appreciate it

Silly me.
I figured it out right after posting.
For anyone else here is the answer:

root.selectSingleNode("//FOLDER[@ID='1']&quot
