How do you get the non-transformed character entity out of MSXML3.0




Here is the node

<Customer  number="125487"   NumberOfPurchases="&lt;4" >Joe &amp; Bill's
Shop</Customer>

(I am just loading up an xml document via
Visual Basic inside of a code module and then accessing
the xml via manipulation of the DOM via Visual Basic, I am
not transforming the xml with an xslt file...that
would happen later and that is why the element and attribute
values in the Customer node must stay in their untransformed state)

What I am trying to retrieve from the node attribute
NumberOfPurchases (using MSXML 3.0 ) is :

&lt;4


What I have been able to get via one of the properties in
MSXML3.0

accessing the xml property on the node attribute you get
NumberOfPurchases="&lt;4"

accessing the text property on the node attribute you get
<4

Anyone know how to return just  &lt;4 using one of the
property's or methods of MSXML3.0

Thanks
Jim Garrett
