How to read XML by item name

[alex.]

We have a XML config file as attachement.

It has many jobs' configuration in it(<Job>).

For every job, therer will be a item of <JobActive> with value of Y or N.

Sometimes, we need to toggle the Y or N for some certain jobs.

I tried to read the <JobName> by the attached vi.

But when I read it, I can only read the items by sequence one by one.

Is it possible to read by the item name or by index?

We will have many <job> in the future.

Thanks,

Hi,

I tried opening up your VI to take a closer look, but unfortunately there are broken wires corresponding to your application.  Unfortunately I am not able to test your VI here.  Can you please explain your application further so that we can be able to help you out.

Can you attach a sample of the XML file so when I run the example I get something that works.  I may understand the question, because looking at the VI I don't see where you are searching for a specific job.  You just work with the first one returned?
