selectSingleNode Method

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

Syntax

objXMLDOMNode = oXMLDOMNode.selectSingleNode(patternString)

Parameters

patternString

String specifying the pattern-matching operation that is to be applied to this node's context.

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