var xmlDoc = new ActiveXObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0");
var pi;
xmlDoc.load("books.xml");
for (var i=0; i<xmlDoc.childNodes.length; i++) {
  if (xmlDoc.childNodes.item(i).nodeType == 7) {
    pi = xmlDoc.childNodes.item(i);
    alert(pi.data);
  }
}

Visual Basic Syntax

For i = 0 To (xmlDoc.childNodes.length - 1)
  If xmlDoc.childNodes.Item(i).nodeType = NODE_PROCESSING_INSTRUCTION Then
    Set pi = xmlDoc.childNodes.Item(i)
    MsgBox pi.Data
  End If
