Peter, Delete the <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> line before you do the "revCreateXMLTree" and you should be golden.

I'm trying to convert some programs from PHP to livecode. I've been working with LiveCode for several years and haven't had the opportunity to work with XML until now. I went through the LiveCode lesson on reading from an XML file, but am running into problems when working with live data. I used the example in: http://lessons.runrev.com/s/lessons/m/4071/l/7011-How-to-read-in-data-from-a n-XML-file When I applied the same methods to my data, I can't retrieve my data values. Instead, I get only "empty" and "xmlerr". If anybody could guide me in the right direction, I'd really appreciate it. Here's an example data file: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <orders> <order> <po_number>1111</po_number> <ship_to> <salutation>Mr</salutation> <first_name>Joe</first_name> <last_name>Smith</last_name> <address_1>123 Street Rd.</address_1> <address_2>Apartment 6</address_2> <city>Some City</city> <state>NJ</state> <post_code>08810</post_code> <email>j...@smith.com</email> <phone>732-555-1212</phone> <customer_ref_number>001</customer_ref_number> </ship_to> <items> <item> <line>1</line> <sku>720912</sku> <description>Widget</description> <unit_price>24.50</unit_price> <quantity>1</quantity> </item> </items> </order> <order> <po_number>1112</po_number> <ship_to> <salutation>Ms</salutation> <first_name>Jane</first_name> <last_name>Doe</last_name> <address_1>456 Raod St.</address_1> <address_2>Some Suburb</address_2> <city>My Little Town</city> <state>NJ</state> <post_code>08711</post_code> <email>j...@bigserver.com</email> <phone>609-555-1212</phone> <customer_ref_number>002</customer_ref_number> </ship_to> <items> <item> <line>1</line> <sku>060002</sku> <description>Gizmo</description> <unit_price>18.45</unit_price> <quantity>1</quantity> </item> <item> <line>2</line> <sku>02134</sku> <description>Thingy</description> <unit_price>21.16</unit_price> <quantity>1</quantity> </item> </items> </order> </orders> Using PHP I can easily convert the above file to an Array. However, LiveCode is being a bit more challenging.
