Hi,

Suppose I have some data

<XMLSOCCER>
<Team>
<Team_Id>45</Team_Id>
<Name>Aberdeen</Name>
<Country>Scotland</Country>
<Stadium>Pittodrie Stadium</Stadium>
<HomePageURL>www.afc.co.uk</HomePageURL>
<WIKILink>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aberdeen_F.C.</WIKILink>
</Team>
...
</XMLSOCCER>

and I want to use revXMLNodeContents to get the Name of a Team.

I haven't been able to extract this info and it is driving me a bit nuts as I'm not clear what I'm doing wrong. I have for instance tried

put revCreateXMLTree(tResponse, false, true, false) into tDocID
put revXMLNodeContents(tDocID,"XMLSOCCER/Team_Id/Name") into tResult

and
put revCreateXMLTree(tResponse, false, true, false) into tDocID
put revXMLNodeContents(tDocID,"/XMLSOCCER/Team_Id/Name") into tResult

but I always get an xmlerr can't find element.

Can anyone give any further info (obviously I've consulted the Docs) on how this command should be used.

Thanks in advance.

Hi garyth,

shouldn't this be "Team" without "_Id":
...
put revXMLNodeContents(tDocID,"XMLSOCCER/Team/Name") into tResult
...

Hi Klaus,

Thanks for spotting the above error but what I've put above is a typo or an error from copying over my code and then editing in the forum entry. I have tried eg

put revXMLNodeContents(tDocID,"/XMLSOCCER/Team/Name") into tResult

and as I say I keep getting an xmlerr, can't find element.

Thanks Klaus, your post has helped me now to see my mistake.

And what was it?

I didn't get that for the required path you would put /root/node/child_2 say but thought it would have to include all prior child nodes so /root/node/child_1/child_2. Of course now I feel a bit silly.

Thanks again for responding and pointing out the obvious to me.

Now discovering that I can make use of some of the other revXML commands that better suit my purpose.
