Demonstrates some methods for getting attribute name/values.

The input XML, available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/car.xml, is this:

<root>
    <car color="black" make="mercedes" model="C350" hp="302" engine="v6" type="sedan">Mercedes Benz C350</car>
</root>

AutoIt

Local $bSuccess = False

$oXml = ObjCreate("Chilkat.Xml")
Local $oCarNode
Local $iNumAttr
Local $iHorsepower
Local $i

; The sample input XML is available at http://www.chilkatsoft.com/data/car.xml
$bSuccess = $oXml.LoadXmlFile("car.xml")
If ($bSuccess <> True) Then
    ConsoleWrite($oXml.LastErrorText & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; Navigate to the "car" node, which is the 1st child:
$oCarNode = $oXml.FirstChild()

; Get the value of the "model" attribute:
ConsoleWrite("model = " & $oCarNode.GetAttrValue("model") & @CRLF)

; Get the value of the "hp" attribute as an integer:
$iHorsepower = $oCarNode.GetAttrValueInt("hp")
ConsoleWrite("horsepower = " & $iHorsepower & @CRLF)

; Iterate over the attributes and show the name/value of each:
$iNumAttr = $oCarNode.NumAttributes

$i = 0
While $i < $iNumAttr
    ConsoleWrite($oCarNode.GetAttributeName($i) & ": " & $oCarNode.GetAttributeValue($i) & @CRLF)
    $i = $i + 1
