Open original thread
First off here is a small sample of XML that i am working on

XML
<RootNode>
  <node type="FILE">
    <subNode>
      <subValue1>105</subValue1>
      <subValue2>firstpayment</subValue2>
    </subNode>
    <subNode>
      <subValue1>120</subValue1>
      <subValue2>secondpayment</subValue2>
    </subNode>
  </node>
  <node type="DIR">
    <subNode>
      <subValue1>300</subValue1>
      <subValue2>firstpayment</subValue2>
    </subNode>
    <subNode>
      <subValue1>350</subValue1>
      <subValue2>secondpayment</subValue2>
    </subNode>
  </node>
  <node type="FILE">
    <subNode>
      <subValue1>180</subValue1>
      <subValue2>firstpayment</subValue2>
    </subNode>
    <subNode>
      <subValue1>260</subValue1>
      <subValue2>secondpayment</subValue2>
    </subNode>
  </node>
</RootNode>


How to retrieve the information of subvalue1 and subvalue2 if node type='File' ?

Result should show as below

PayMode
105firstpayment
120secondpayment
180firstpayment
260firstpayment


I am able to retrieve the data by loading the data to a table by using the following method.

SQL
insert into @Table values (@xml) --data above

SELECT 
DATA.query('(./subValue1)').value('.','INT') as PAY,
DATA.query('(./subValue2)').value('.','VARCHAR(MAX)') as MODE
FROM @Table TF 
CROSS APPLY @xml.nodes('/RootNode/node/subNode') AS HF(DATA)


But I want data of only those subnode where node type="File". as of now it is giving me value of all subnode ( So i get 6 results instead of only 4).

Any help from anyone would be greatly appreciated.
