</RECORD>

</STUDENT>

1. i'll ve a function filterNode() to which i'll pass the query
condition ie.
for eg. filterNode("id=002")
now it s supposed to return the whole node itself which contains
the id = 002 (as a node)

ie for eg.

<RECORD ID="2">
<FIELD NAME="id">002</FIELD>
<FIELD NAME="name">MR.Y</FIELD>
</RECORD>


2. How to convert a node to xml

supposed to convert that node back to readable xml file for furthur
searching purposes.
