Parse XML File

[rejectpenguin]

Hey, is there a non complicated way to parse an xml file? If I use _INetGetSource it gives me the html of the file but not the xml.

Here is the file im trying to parse: http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Anub%27arak&n=Lovepenguin

#include <_XMLDomWrapper.au3>
#include <File.au3>

Global $oXML = ObjCreate("Microsoft.XMLHTTP")
$oXML.Open("GET", "http://www.wowarmory.com/character-sheet.xml?r=Anub%27arak&n=Lovepenguin", 0)
$oXML.Send

Global $sFile = _TempFile(@TempDir, '~', '.xml')
FileWrite($sFile, $oXML.responseText)

If _XMLFileOpen($sFile) Then
    Local $aRet = _XMLGetChildNodes('//*')
    If Not @error Then
        For $i = 1 To $aRet[0]
            ConsoleWrite($aRet[$i] & @LF)
        Next
    EndIf
EndIf

FileDelete($sFile)

Thanks for the quick response and code.. I don't quite understand the code you have posted tho but I'm sure I can figure it out with a little help..

How can I get info from the XML file such as for instance level (which is equal to 80). Or profession. I'm not quite sure what to do.

Is there a way I can just parse the XML like I would do a text file or html source?

Any help on how to reference I guess the node professions? I don't have much experience.

Ive tried Local $aRet = _XMLGetValue('characterInfo/character/battleGroup')

but think im doing something horribly wrong.

I've added the XPath link to help you using examples of how to use it. Here is another one
