Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Assistance parsing XML file?
I don't get how aVal could output what you are saying it is outputting. To reference the No you would use the XMLText property of the node. Am I missing something here?

If you want to get text NO as output, here is code that can do the trick. cfxml variable=MyXmlCode ?xml version=1.0 encoding=UTF-8? r25:attribute_value xmlns:r25=http://www.collegenet.com/r25;No/r25:attribute_value /cfxml !---1.

How many elements are there in the root --- CFSET nNumElements = ArrayLen(Node_Root.XmlChildren) CFOUTPUT pThe total number of elements are : b#nNumElements#/b/p pThe text within the element is : b #Node_Root.xmltext#/b/p /CFOUTPUT If there were any attributes involved, I would have used XMlAttributes, similarly XmlChildren if there were any child elements.

Re: [ACFUG Discuss] Assistance parsing XML file?
ah, okay.. well when i process xml, i use this custom tag to convert the xml to a struct. This custom tag was just available...I assume that a programmer before me found it. I'm attaching the code for the custom tag, and how i use it below: because I dont know exactly how your xml is structured, i did the best with changing the example code... however, you can just do a cfdump on mystruct after populating, to better see where that NO lives. hope this helps.. (and remember...the custom tag code is attached - just rename it with a .cfm exention .. i renamed it with a .txt just incase your firewall prevents it) CFOBJECT NAME=objXMLHTTP CLASS=Microsoft.XMLHTTP ACTION=create TYPE=COM cfscript objXMLHTTP.open(POST,theurl,false); objXMLHTTP.send(); /cfscript cfset xmlresponce = #objXMLHTTP.responseText# cf_xmlchange input #xmlresponce# output=mystruct !--- trying to change code for your purposes --- cfif #isdefined(mystruct.events.events[i])# cfoutput cfset aVal = mystruct.events.events[i].attributes.attrributeNAMEHERE.value)# #aVal# /cfoutput br /cfif _ John Youngman [EMAIL PROTECTED] - Original Message - From: Tepfer, Seth [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: discussion@acfug.org Sent: Tuesday, July 15, 2008 9:25 AM Subject: RE: [ACFUG Discuss] Assistance parsing XML file?

You can actually get the structure of the parsed XML visually using CFDUMP. This ALWAYS helps me visualize where in the object I am looking for something.
