VBScript to edit/revise an XML file - 11/13/2008 5:33:28 AM

Status: offline 		I have never written any VBScript, but I have been assigned the task at work to write a script that updates an XML file.  The script is part of a job on SQL Server that will run nightly. 
Basically, I need to replace part of a XML file.  The beginning part of the file (two or three elements) and the end of the file (another two or three elements) stays the same.  But there is one element in the middle that needs to be replaced (and all of it's children.)
Like I already said, I have never written any VBScript, so I have no idea how to go about this.  Is there a way to edit part of (the middle of) a file?
Any help is greatly appreciated and thanks in advance!

Status: offline 		It is possible to do this with regular string functions. Personally however I would look at using the XMLDOM to do it in an XML appropriate fashion. Search the forum and you should find examples of both methods. Once you hav tired some code, post back here with any problems that you are having.
