Well, I'm a little behind the game, but I'm trying to work with XML documents, and I'm running into walls. I am having difficulty understanding all the different variations of XML, or for that matter, making Regular Expressions that allow me to forget trying to understand XML and just pull the data I need.For example, I can get tags with no problems by using the following command: -- Example: <ShortName>Google</ShortName> get matchText(tData,"<Shortname>(.*)</Shortname>", tShortName) But I start running into problems with tags that have attributes: <Url type="text/html" template="http://www.whatever.com/search";> </Url> And tags that have attributes AND "slashes" at the end: <Url type="text/html" template="http://www.whatever.com/search"/>
Hi Derek, I tried saving your XML as a text file with the official XML header: <?xml version="1.0"?> <Url type="text/html" method="GET" template="http://www.google.com/search";> <Param name="q" value="{searchTerms}"/> <Param name="ie" value="utf-8"/> <Param name="oe" value="utf-8"/> <!-- Dynamic parameters --> <Param name="rls" value="{moz:distributionID}:{moz:locale}:{moz:official}"/> <MozParam name="client" condition="defaultEngine" trueValue="firefox-a" falseValue="firefox"/> </Url> Then I opened it using the XML construction kit that is part of my XML demo <http://www.troz.net/Rev/tutorials/XMLdemo1.rev.gz>. It worked perfectly and I was able to extract all the elements & their attributes perfectly. While the XML library has a learning curve, I would recommend that you use it for such parsing. Or use Ken Ray's third-party XML library.
