Hi Richard, To be quite honest with you here I am not entirely sure as to why the business wants automation around the accessing the WS with a browser. I’m relatively new here and have been set the task in my early days to spike various automation tools and from what I have read and heard ruby/watir is the way to go. So here I am.
None the less, no matter in which process I decide to go down (retrieving the XML via the GUI or REXML) I will still need to establish a way to identify the line from the XML I require removing the XML tags from the line and storing the data as a variable. I have been looking around all over the net but I'm unsure of what the words are that I need to Google on, so I’m going around in circles. >From my limited understanding I would assume it be possible for me to identify the line in which I wish to set a variable to, but removing the <shortname> & </shortname> from that line so that the variable is just set to TESTA... am I wrong?
