selectNodes Method

Applies the specified pattern-matching operation to this node's context and returns the list of matching nodes.

Syntax

objXMLDOMNodeList = oXMLDOMNode.selectNodes(patternString)

Parameters

patternString

String specifying the XSL pattern that is to be applied to the context defined by this node.

Returns

Object. Returns a list of nodes that match the pattern. If no nodes match the pattern, an empty node list is returned.

Remarks

For a complete description, see the XSL pattern-matching syntax.

The selectSingleNode method is much like the selectNodes method, but returns only the first matching node rather than the list of all matching nodes.

The IXMLDOMNodeList object is live and immediately reflects changes to the nodes that appear in the list.

Applies To

IXMLDOMDocument, IXMLDOMNode, IXTLRuntime
