Thanks to help from this list, I’ve used Trevor’s ‘ConvertXMLtoArray’ to
convert an XML file into a multidimensional array. Looks good in the IDE, but I
can’t understand how to access its elements by following the scraps of advice
in the User Guide. The IDE says that my array (say ‘myArray’) looks like this
gpx
@attributes
metadata
trk
trkseg
trkpt[1001]
@attributes
lat*
lon*
ele*
time*
trkpt[1002]
etc (there are thousands of elements at the ’trkpt’ level)
The lines marked with an asterisk have actual values, for example the ‘time’
element contains a time.
I have tried to follow the documentation, but I can’t understand how to address
a specific element, much less loop through the whole array. For instance, how
would I get the time for trkpt[1001]? It must be obvious to many, but not to
me. The general syntax seems to be of the form
put myArray[key1][key2]…[keyn] into someVariable
where the keys are strings in quotes (or presumably expressions that evaluate
to strings), but I haven’t hit on any sequence that just shows me one element,
like the time.
I feel stupid, but I have tried.
Thanks for any clarification.
Graham
