There may be a better way, but using revXMLChildNames allows you get the child names with the index appended (e.g. name[1], name[2], etc.) put field 1 into tData //source of xml text put revXMLCreateTree(tData,true,true,false) into tID put revXMLChildNames(tID, "person/aliases/", cr, "name" ,true) into tNameNodes put "" into tOut repeat for each line tNodeName in tNameNodes put "person/aliases/" & tNodeName into tNode put revXMLNodeContents(tID, tNode) & cr after tOut end repeat put tOut into field 2 Cheers Dave Cragg _______________________________________________ use-livecode mailing list use-livecode@lists.runrev.com Please visit this url to subscribe, unsubscribe and manage your subscription preferences: http://lists.runrev.com/mailman/listinfo/use-livecode
