WD23 xml files

Hey Forum

I hope you can help...

This is a little xml code

<Ordered>
<count>1</count>
</Ordered>
<Text tag="Extra Info: ">AAAAAAA</Text>
<Text tag="Tekst: ">BBBBBBB</Text>
<Ordered>
<count>2</count>
</Ordered>
<Text> CCCCCC</Text>

My problem is :

How can i know that

Extra Info en Tekst belongs to count 1

and

AFHALEN belongs to count 2

Hi,

Is this "real" XML or XML that you "invented"?

The way you would normally recognise the text belonging to the count would be like this:

<Ordered> 
<count>1</count> 
<Text tag="Extra Info: ">AAAAAAA</Text> 
<Text tag="Tekst: ">BBBBBBB</Text> 
</Ordered> 
<Ordered> 
<count>2</count> 
<Text> CCCCCC</Text> 
</Ordered>

Yep i know

It is an xml file from a supplier , i have to deal with it...

In that case, you can either:
1) Inform them of the error of their ways and ask them to fix their XML
...or...
2) You'll have to tell them youy're making the assumption that the Text tag after the most recent </Ordered> end tag will be related to that previous section. I don't see what else you can do.

Good luck!

Hey Darren

the most recent </Ordered> end tag will be related to that previous section. I don't see what else you can do.

How should I do that ? Any idea??
I could read everything in a string but that so clumsy

Hi,

There are a whole host of XML functions, but don't forget, there's also a specific XML variable type called XMLDocument:

[doc.windev.com]

...not to mention the various XML Unit examples that come with WX.

Thanks Darren i solved it all ready

Great stuff!

What did you do in the end? ...you never know it might help other people on the forum in the future.

Darren.

Hey Darren

I browse thru the xml file and count the orders-nodes and when the orders-node is finished and there is an /text node then i fill a array
i am not proud on this solution but it works
