This probably has a simple solution.

I have a xml list here. I want to filter out the players by the active tag. All players where the active tag reads “No” I want to delete so that the list only has players with the acrive tag reading “yes”

Thanks in advance

\<playerlist\>  
\<player\>  
\<name\>George\</name\>  
\<position\>Defence\</position\>  
\<active\>no\</active\>  
\</player\>

```
                 &lt;player&gt;
                    &lt;name&gt;Bill&lt;/name&gt;
                   &lt;position&gt;Defence&lt;/position&gt;
                    &lt;active&gt;Yes&lt;/active&gt;
                 &lt;/player&gt;

                 &lt;player&gt;
                    &lt;name&gt;Bill&lt;/name&gt;
                   &lt;position&gt;Offense&lt;/position&gt;
                    &lt;active&gt;Yes&lt;/active&gt;
                 &lt;/player&gt;

                     &lt;player&gt;
                    &lt;name&gt;Henry&lt;/name&gt;
                   &lt;position&gt;Offense&lt;/position&gt;
                    &lt;active&gt;No&lt;/active&gt;
                 &lt;/player&gt;

            &lt;/playlist&gt;;
