Dim fso, outFile
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set outFile = fso.CreateTextFile("output.txt", True)

set xml = CreateObject("Chilkat.Xml")

'  The sample input XML is available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/car.xml
success = xml.LoadXmlFile("car.xml")
If (success <> 1) Then
    outFile.WriteLine(xml.LastErrorText)
    WScript.Quit
End If

'  Navigate to the "car" node, which is the 1st child:
' carNode is a Chilkat.Xml
Set carNode = xml.FirstChild()

'  Get the value of the "model" attribute:
outFile.WriteLine("model = " & carNode.GetAttrValue("model"))

'  Get the value of the "hp" attribute as an integer:
horsepower = carNode.GetAttrValueInt("hp")
outFile.WriteLine("horsepower = " & horsepower)

'  Iterate over the attributes and show the name/value of each:
numAttr = carNode.NumAttributes

i = 0
Do While i < numAttr
    outFile.WriteLine(carNode.GetAttributeName(i) _
         & ": " & carNode.GetAttributeValue(i))
    i = i + 1
Loop


outFile.Close
