Hi guys,
i need to delete the following pattern and its parent node from my xml
file (IF THE SEARCH STRING FOUND)
<Rating>NC</Rating>
if i find the above particular string , i need to delete the XML
elements (parent of the <Rating> element. problem is i have different
parent nodes with different names..
like
<movies>
<name> xxx</name>
<title>xxx </title>
<Rating>NC</Rating>
</movies>
<tvshow>
<name> </name>
<title>xxx </title>
<Rating>NC</Rating>
</tvshow>
<tvepisode>
<name>xxx </name>
<title>xxx </title>
<Rating>M</Rating>
</tvepisode>
as an example, i need to remove <movies> section and <tvshow> section
from my xml, (because it has the word NC) but need to keep <tvepisode>
can someone point me to the correct direction, or code snippet
Thanks in advance
tharanga
