js xml get another attribute of a known attribute

If I know the attribute name, is there a better way, less intensive (I could have 100's os Swatches) way to write this? Something like: $("[attribute.name=='Clear-Matt']").$(this).attr('cost');

If there is not would this each function stop when (name=="Clear-Matt") or will it keep going to the end of the swatches? If so is there a way to stop it? 

 var swatchCost='';
 $(xmldoc).find('Swatch').each(function() {
      var name = $(this).attr('name');
      if (name=="Clear-Matt") {
           swatchCost=$(this).attr('cost');
      }   
 });

XML:

 <Swatch name="Clear" title="Clear" alt="Frame" cost="100" match=""></Swatch>
 <Swatch name="Clear-Matt" title="Clear-Matt" alt="Frame" cost="11" match=""></Swatch>
 <Swatch name="Blue-Orange" title="Blue-Orange" alt="Frame" cost="200" match=""></Swatch>
 <Swatch name="Pink-Blue-Clear" title="Pink-Blue-Clear" alt="Frame" cost="300" match="">   </Swatch>
 <Swatch name="Blue" title="Blue" alt="Frame" cost="11" match=""></Swatch>

Thanks.

You can do this way using the attribute selector.

$(xmlDoc).find('[name=Clear-Matt]').attr('cost'); // or use 'Swatch[name=Clear-Matt]'

Fiddle

And for your question of existing the for-each loop once you got what you need you can just do a return false; which is equivalent to break; statement.

  if (name=="Clear-Matt") {
       swatchCost=$(this).attr('cost');
      return false;  //break the iteration now.
  }
