I have the following xml :
…
….
<A>
<B>
<C>11122</C>
<D>loop</D>
<E>30-03-05</E>
<F>integer</F>
<G>decimal</G>
<H />
</B>
</A>
…
….
I need to remove all the values under <payment_details> so that the xml will be in the desired format as below:
…
….
<A>
<B>
<C></C>
<D></D>
<E></E>
<F></F>
<G></G>
<H />
</B>
</A>
…
….

My code is :

Set xmlDoc = CreateObject("MSXML.DOMDocument")

       xmlDoc.async = False
       xmlDoc.loadXML ("test.xml")
       
      Set xmlnodeval = xmlDoc.selectSingleNode("../../A")
   
       If False = (xmlNode8 Is Nothing) Then

             xmlnodeval.Text = ""
       End If

But this code removes all the tag names as well and the <A> tag is just shown as </A> without the inner tag names.How can I achieve the desired format mentioned above through this code.

Thank you
