selectNodes issue/question Set NodeList = objXMLDoc.selectNodes("/MarketingList/TargetClient/FNAME | LNAME") is this proper syntax? I'm trying to grab both "FNAME" and "LNAME" nodes and combine them into one value with no space in between. Make sense? thanks for ANY help! Started By danthewebguy on Aug 10, 2005 at 12:24:36 PM

danthewebguy on Aug 11, 2005 at 9:59:36 AM (# 18) that makes sense, but, error: "Object doesn't support this property or method: 'NodeList.Count'" BachusII on Aug 11, 2005 at 11:12:40 AM (# 19) If only a single node is matched, .selectSingleNode( ... ) could be used instead of .selectNodes( ... ). danthewebguy on Aug 11, 2005 at 11:19:06 AM (# 20) Set NodeList = objXMLDoc.selectSingleNode("/MarketingList/TargetClient[ concat( FNAME, LNAME ) = "& sSourcePage &" ]") If NodeList.Count = 0 Then Response.Write "You are a user! " Else Response.Write "you are NOT a user! " End If returns an error: "ASPCode Number -2146827864 Source Category Microsoft VBScript runtime File /custom_errors/custom404.asp Line 211 Column -1 Description Object required: 'NodeList' ASPDescription URL /custom_errors/custom404.asp " BachusII on Aug 11, 2005 at 11:31:16 AM (# 21) First let's confirm that the query is correct. What are the results for something you know (and checked) to be correct? (does exist) And for something that isn't correct? (does not exist) danthewebguy on Aug 11, 2005 at 11:34:31 AM (# 22) well, I know that if I type in "http://www.company.com/tommoore" it should return "you are a user" because that is the first name in the xml file . . . fname=tom, lname=moore. Is that what you mean? Oh, and since I make the variable "sSourcePage" to pull the URL out after the slash, I know that "tommoore" is being compared against the "NodeList". Did that make sense? :) danthewebguy on Aug 12, 2005 at 7:35:54 AM (# 23) I may have just given up! :( MHenke on Aug 23, 2005 at 2:16:15 AM (# 24) Tho I don't know VBScript, I can say that the an XPath like /MarketingList/TargetClient[concat(FNAME, LNAME ) = 'somename'] looks OK. But two remarks: The path you're using ("/MarketingList/TargetClient[ concat( FNAME, LNAME ) = "& sSourcePage &" ]") is missing the (single) quotes around the sSourcePage variable, so all queries most likely results in an empty nodeset, regardles what name you're query Chris has mentioned that selectNodes always returns a (possibly empty) collection, but I could imagine that selectSingleNode won't, that is, results in a single node (not a NodeList) if the result set is not empty and in NULL otherwise. So NodeList.Count = 0 will result in an error in the above mentioned scenario May you want to try something along this (provided that you havn't already given up... 8 ) Set NodeList = objXMLDoc.selectNodes("/MarketingList/TargetClient[concat(FNAME, LNAME) = '"& sSourcePage & "']") If NodeList.Count = 0 Then Response.Write "You are a user! " Else Response.Write "you are NOT a user! " End If
