How to get a specified attribute value using MSXML4

[followait]

How to get the value of "hw" and "pos", xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<Root>
<w c5="NN1" hw="factsheet" pos="SUBST">FACTSHEET </w>
<w c5="DTQ" hw="what" pos="PRON">WHAT </w>
<w c5="VBZ" hw="be" pos="VERB">IS </w>
<w c5="NN1" hw="aids" pos="SUBST">AIDS</w>
<w c5="NN1" hw="aids" pos="SUBST">AIDS </w>
<w c5="VVN-AJ0" hw="acquire" pos="VERB">Acquired </w>
</Root>

Here is a piece of code:

MSXML2::IXMLDOMDocumentPtr pDoc;
HRESULT hr;
hr = pDoc.CreateInstance(\_\_uuidof(MSXML2::DOMDocument40));
if (FAILED(hr))	{
	MessageBox("err");
	return;
}
pDoc->load("d:\\\\a01.xml");
MSXML2::IXMLDOMNodeListPtr pNodeList;
MSXML2::IXMLDOMNode \*DOMNode=NULL;
CString strContest;
try {
    pNodeList=pDoc->getElementsByTagName("w");
	int j=pNodeList->length;
    for(int i=0;i<pNodeList->length;++i) {

///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
//Here, get the item value, how to get a specified attribute value
pNodeList->get_item(i,&DOMNode);
strContest=(LPCSTR)DOMNode->Gettext();
MessageBox(strContest);
}
} catch(_com_error &err) {
CString strErr=(LPCTSTR)err.Description();
MessageBox(strErr);
}

You have to use the attributes property (i.e the get_attributes method) and then the getNamedItem on the returned NodeMap, check out the C++ sample of the getNamedItem documentation: http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms767592.aspx[^] it does almost exactly what you need (it retrieves an attribute of the documentElement, but the same applies to a standard node). Please note that you can also do a more intensive use of the smart pointers to make code more concise. :)
