Subject: Re: How to edit particular element value from list of xml elements using ruby

Hi,

You could use XPath to select the element:

//event[@name="birthday"]

I don't know exactly how ReXML works, but in Nokogiri you would do 
something like this:

#-------------------------
require 'nokogiri'

xml_string = '
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
  <events>
    <event name="New Year" date="1/1/13"></event>
    <event name="birthday" date="2/10/13"></event>
    <event name="aniversary" date="3/29/13"></event>
  </events>
'
doc = Nokogiri::XML.parse xml_string
selected = doc.xpath '//event[@name="birthday"]'
#-------------------------
