Thread: Remove elements from DOMSelection

Hi,
I have a DOMSelection and I need to cycle through it and remove some nodes. The resulting DOMSelection will be used somewhere else. How can I achieve this?

I have tried to use the .removeChild method. This DO remove the node from the main XML document, but the original DOMSelection stays with the childnode in it.

This is the procedure that I use right now.
This procedure does nothing more than adjusting the amount of childs a given Node should have.

Private Sub SizeXmlNode(ActXpath As String, NrOfChilds As Long)
    Dim NodeList As MSXML2.IXMLDOMSelection
    Dim tNode As MSXML2.IXMLDOMNode
    'glbXmlDoc is a xml Document (MSXML2.DOMDocument60)

    Set NodeList = glbXmlDoc.SelectNodes(ActXpath)
    
    'If the xmlNode is too big, then trim the xml
    If NodeList.Length > NrOfChilds Then
        Do
            NodeList.Item(0).ParentNode.RemoveChild NodeList.Item(0)
        Loop Until glbXmlDoc.SelectNodes(ActXpath).Length = NrOfChilds
        
    End If
End Sub
'

Another problem I have is that the line

 NodeList.Item(0).ParentNode.RemoveChild NodeList.Item(0)

will work only one time. After the second pass, it pops a "Object variable or With block variable not set"

Every help is very appreciated. Thanks!
