I mean, I would like to be able to get the same exact location in the XML path every time I run my for loop and stop on some condition.
For example some sort of function that returns: myXml.books[0].book.covers.cover[2].items[2].data123 if data123 is the value in my For Loop that I break on ( match on ) on the XML in question. Hope this helps, Sean. --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Tracy Spratt" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > What do you mean by "...save the absolute path..."? > > > > Save a reference? > > > > Save a string representation of the ancestor chain? > > > > What do you want to do? > > > > Tracy > > > > ________________________________ > > From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On > Behalf Of helihobby > Sent: Thursday, January 31, 2008 6:42 PM > To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com > Subject: [flexcoders] How can I save XML path deep inside my XML data ? > > > > Hello, > > I have a very large XML. > > I have a function which reads the XML and finds something that I am > looking for ( lets say data123 ) > > Once I find it I wish to save the absolute path to it ... > Is that possible ? > > For example: > > I wish to save: > > myXml.books[0].book.covers.cover[2].items[2].data123 > > However I can not build the above statement since the XML is dynamic. > I wish for the function to return the absolute path of the item after > I find it ... > > Thanks in advance, > > Sean. >
