• When applied to XML, which is technically case sensitive, the Dot Operator is still case insensitive. If you wish to
perform a case-sensitive XML operation, use the member functions of the roXMLElement/roXMLList objects.
Attribute Operator
The “@” Attribute Operator can be used with an roXMLElement instance to return a named attribute. Though XML is case
sensitive, the Attribute Operator is always case insensitive. If the Attribute Operator is used with an roXMLList instance, it
will only return a value if that list contains exactly one element.
Examples
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<rsp stat="ok">
<photos page="1" pages="5" perpage="100" total="500">
<photo id="3131875696" owner="21963906@N06" secret="f248c84625" server="3125"

</rsp>
Given the XML in the above example.xml file, then the following code will return an roXMLList instance with three entries:
rsp=CreateObject("roXMLElement")
rsp.Parse(ReadAsciiFile("example.xml"))
? rsp.photos.photo
