Hello Kirupa Forum,

I got this old question ticking in my head: how to get various categories in a xml, like:

\<slide category=“rooms”/\>  
\<slide category=“rooms”/\>  
\<slide category=“rooms”/\>  
\<slide category=“dinner”/\>  
\<slide category=“dinner”/\>  
\<slide category=“dinner”/\>  
\<slide category=“kitchen”/\>  
\<slide category=“kitchen”/\>  
\<slide category=“kitchen”/\>  
\<slide category=“kitchen”/\>  
\<slide category=“kitchen”/\>

and fill and array with olny these 3 categories programaticaly, in as 3.0?
