Updating Attribute value

Question

I have a simple XML document. file.
<result success="TRUE">
<plan>
<step number="0" name="SelectTransportA"/>
<step number="1" name="SelectFlight"/>
<step number="2" name="GetMedicalFlightAccountB"/>
<step number="3" name="SelectFlight"/>
</plan>
</result>What i want is to update any "name" attribute value at runtime. I receive "number" attribute value, so on the basis of the received number, i want my name attribute value to be updated.
Just like updating a value in hashtable or vector given an index.
Regards.

It depends what you want to do, Do you just want to update the file? Then XSLT is probably the easiest. Do you want to update this in memory? Then DOM's Node.setAttribute is probably best.
