Is there a better way to find the XML node which has a specific attribute?

I have a series of XML nodes that are the same (except for the data of course). I want to find the node with that attribute and use that node’s data. I know I can do this with a for loop and an if statement but I was hoping that there was a better way.

In the XML below I need to find the node with the correct ‘fileName’ attribute.

Any ideas?


  <decisionPoint fileName="asdf">
    <choice label="1" goTo="dfd"/>
    <choice label="2" goTo="fsdfw3"/>
  </decisionPoint>
  <decisionPoint fileName="dfd">
    <choice label="22" goTo="asdf"/>
    <choice label="33" goTo="fsdfw3"/>
  </decisionPoint>
  <decisionPoint fileName="fsdfw3">
    <choice label="222" goTo="dfd"/>
    <choice label="111" goTo="asdf"/>
  </decisionPoint>
