Hello,
I am trying to scan an xml document and find all the nodes of a certain
name that have a particular attribute and value. It would seem that
"revXMLMatchingNode" was made for this purpose. But I can't get it to
find anything other then the first instance. There doesn't seem to be
anyway to tell it to pick up where it left off the last go around.
The second parameter is the Starting Node, but it appears that what ever
searching is done is done *underneath" this node. The function does not
continue working it's way through the XMl tree.
Here is some code I am trying
put fld id 1006 into xmlTree
put "Script" into theNodeToLookFor
put "id" into theAttributeToSearch
put 1 into theValueToFind
put revXMLRootNode(xmlTree) into startingNode
repeat until allDone
put revXMLMatchingNode (xmlTree, startingNode , theNodeToLookFor,
theAttributeToSearch, theValueToFind, -1) into theResult
if theResult contains "xmlerr" or theResult is Empty then
put true into allDone
else
put theResult
put theResult into startingNode
end if
end repeat
--
Does anybody have any experience searching large xml docs? Is there a
way around this? Is there a way to get the next Match or all Matches?
(sadly I just found that I posted essentially this same question in
2006. 7 years ago, yikes! )
