How to pass attribute text as a variable to select a single node in xml using VBScript?

I'm trying to select a single node in an xml file using VBscript using the following code 

Set node = xmlDoc.selectingSingleNode(".//node()[@name = 'anything']")

This works perfectly if I write what I need to pass as a text.

But I need to pass this 'anything' as a variable X

I tried the following but neither is working

xmlDoc.selectingSingleNode(".//node()[@name = X]")
xmlDoc.selectingSingleNode(".//node()[@name = '&X&']")

Any suggestions are appreciated

Solution

  • Just concatenate properly:

    >> X = "abc"
>> WScript.Echo ".//node()[@name = '" & X & "']"
>>
.//node()[@name = 'abc']
