excel vba - How to parse an XML file and write in data then save it -

i working on following:

1. an excel sheet cells end user asked enter required values; done
2. code read values entered in these cells end users;
3. load xml file; done
4. parse , write values retrieved excel cells xml file (following rule) save it; stuck here!
5. start application (another script use xml file values later).

i simplify as possible:

the excel file following example...

   cella     cellb 1  t1        v1 2  t2        v2 3  t3        v3 4  t4        v4 5  t5        v5 6  t6        v6 

"t" refers title. end user enter values v1, v2, ... v6

the xml file structured this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" standalone="no"?> <environment>     <variable>         <name></name>         <caption>t1</caption>         <type>text</type>         <value>v1</value>         <description></description>     </variable>         <variable>         <name></name>         <caption>t2</caption>         <type>text</type>         <value>v2</value>         <description></description>     </variable>         <variable>         <name></name>         <caption>t3</caption>         <type>text</type>         <value>v3</value>         <description></description>     </variable> <variable>         <name></name>         <caption>t4</caption>         <type>text</type>         <value>v4</value>         <description></description>     </variable> <variable>         <name></name>         <caption>t5</caption>         <type>text</type>         <value>v5</value>         <description></description>     </variable>     </variable> <variable>         <name></name>         <caption>t6</caption>         <type>text</type>         <value>v6</value>         <description></description>     </variable> </environment> 

as can see need parse file , enter values (v1....v6) reference each one.

below vba code until line stuck:

here code can started

dim doc domdocument set doc = new domdocument doc.load "c:\x.xml" dim variables ixmldomnodelist dim variable ixmldomnode set variables = doc.selectnodes("/environment/variable") each variable in variables     debug.print variable.selectnodes("caption").item(0).text     debug.print variable.selectnodes("type").item(0).text next 

to make work, select tools - references , select microsoft xml v6.0. there many ways solve this, xpath (the language used in selectnodes) know in cases this.
