Thanks for your instant reply. But my requirement is if the first node is the main node containing other nodes I need to ignore it. But if it contains that data then I need to include it.
Can anyone suggest me a method to do it. regards, Jayashree -----Original Message----- From: Andreas Tscharner [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, March 23, 2007 11:41 AM To: Kali, Jayashree; [email protected] Subject: RE: [xml] How do you detect if a xml file has a root node?? > Hi, > > > > I have an xml file of the below format. > > > > <!-some comment generated.." --> > > <Node1>data</Node1> > > > > How do I detect if the file has a root node or not?

You can just ignore (or not) the first node after you have parsed the file...
