Hey Jonathan - This worked perfectly for me. And, if you're really just looking for that one element it will be much faster than iterating across the entire document. The code below, as pointed out by Brad, returns a single element array. Code snippet below:
<cfoutput> <cfxml variable="xmldoc" casesensitive="Yes"> <nitf> <head> <meta name="ap-transref" content="V1463" /> <meta name="ap-origin" content="pf1apon" /> <meta name="ap-selector" content="-----" /> <meta name="ap-category" content="a" /> <meta name="ap-format" content="bx" /> <meta name="ap-routing" content="ENTITLEMENTS,pfONLINE,pf1110" /> <meta name="ap-profile-country" content="country: United States; ISOCountry3: USA; UNTop: 021; APGroup: NorthAmerica" /> <meta name="ap-online-code" content="1110" /> <meta name="ap-cycle" content="AP" /> <meta name="ap-keyword" content="Walking Across America" /> <meta name="ap-xhl" content="Once 410 Pounds, California Man Nears End of His Cross-Country Odyssey" /> <meta name="ap-dheadline" content="Man nears end of his cross-country odyssey" /> <meta name="ap-dxhl" content="Once 410 pounds, California man nears end of his cross-country odyssey" /> <docdata> <doc-id regsrc="AP" id-string="D8HG6H880" /> <urgency ed-urg="7" /> <date.issue norm="20060509T100123Z" /> <du-key key="Walking Across America" /> <doc.rights owner="http://www.ap.org" agent="http://license.icopyright.net" type="online,reprint" /> <doc.copyright year="2006" holder="Copyright 2006 The Associated Press.
