Here's one way. I'm sure there are others. (It returns a list of names and ages)
Dave
function namesAndAges xml
put revCreateXMLTree(xml,true,true,false) into xmlID
if xmlID is not a number then
returm xmlID -- error string
end if
put revXMLChildNames(xmlID,"/orphanage",comma,"small-child",true) into
tChildren
put empty into tRes
repeat for each item tChild in tChildren
put "/orphanage/" & tChild & "/name" into tNameNode
put "/orphanage/" & tChild & "/age" into tAgeNode
put revXMLNodeContents(xmlID, tNameNode) into tName
put revXMLNodeContents(xmlID, tAgeNode) into tAge
put tName & ", " & tAge & cr after tRes
end repeat
return tRes
end namesAndAges
