var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.3.0");
var myVar;
xmlDoc.async = false;
xmlDoc.load("books.xml");
if (xmlDoc.parseError.errorCode != 0) {
var myErr = xmlDoc.parseError;
WScript.Echo("You have error " + myErr.reason);
} else {
root = xmlDoc.documentElement;
myVar = root.firstChild.attributes.item(0).value;
WScript.Echo(myVar);
}
Visual Basic Syntax

C/C++ Syntax
HRESULT get_value(
VARIANT *attributeValue);
HRESULT put_value(
VARIANT *attributeValue);
Parameters
attributeValue [out, retval][in]
The value of the attribute. For attributes with subnodes, the string is the concatenated text of all subnodes with character and general entity reference expanded (replaced with their values).
C/C++ Return Values
S_OK
The value returned if successful.
E_INVALIDARG (for get_valueonly)
The value returned if the attributeValue parameter is Null.
E_FAIL (for put_valueonly)
The value returned if an error occurs.
Remarks
Variant. The property is read/write. It returns the value of the attribute. For attributes with subnodes, the string is the concatenated text of all subnodes with character and general entity references expanded (replaced with their values).
The new attribute value is added as the value of a single text node that is a child of the attribute node. The string contents are unparsed.

Implemented in:
MSXML 3.0, MSXML 6.0
