Well, after you’ve edited the XML node, you call the “write” method to
transform the document tree to a string an write it to the file:

Hi,

You could use XPath to select the element:

//event[@name=“birthday”]

I don’t know exactly how ReXML works, but in Nokogiri you would do
something like this:

#-------------------------
require ‘nokogiri’

xml_string = ’

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> ' doc = Nokogiri::XML.parse xml_string selected = doc.xpath '//event[@name="birthday"]' #-------------------------
