Hi guys,
OK I need some ideas.
Somebody created the stupidest XML file I've ever seen. And of
course they can't change it, and I *must* be able to read it. I'm all out of
brain power on thinking how to go about reading it. I typically use
simplexml to read xml and that's where my knowledge end.
Heres the problem:
Catalog
Rate
RateCode1/RateCode
RateCurrencyUSDRateCurrency
RateValue123/RateValue
/Rate
RateDescription
DescThis is dumn/Desc
/RateDescription
RateDescription
DescNo reall reall dumb/Desc
/RateDescription
Rate
RateCode1322/RateCode
RateCurrencyUSDRateCurrency
RateValue123/RateValue
/Rate
RateDescription
DescSometimes one description, othertimes many/Desc
/RateDescription
and on and on
/Catalog
As you can see there is no hierachy to a RateDescription, its not part of
Rate (nested in it) and many RateDescriptions can follow the same Rate.
However, as the eye can tell the RateDescption(s) apply to the Rate element
above. The problem is I can never know how many there are (if any) for a
Rate.
Any ideas how to go about doing this?
Thanks,
Yoed
how about ignoring them? :)
