Syntax

SppXPathSetAttributeValue([XML],[Path],[Attribute Name],[New Value])

Where:

XML is an XML object such as that returned value from SppXMLFromString or SppXMLLoad, or XML as a text string.

Path is the path to the parent element, in the XML, whose values are to be set. The path needs to be separated with a back slash (\) for example Quote\Items. For multiple elements of the same name use [number] to determine which element the attribute is added to. Path is case sensitive.

Attribute Name is the name of the attribute to be edited, if the attribute does not exist it will be created with the new value.
