Structured List and ExtractXMLList()

[tatanas]

Hi,

Here is a working code :

Code: Select all

Structure Position
	x.l
	y.l
EndStructure
NewList Positions.Position()

Xml$ = "<report>" +
      	 "<element>" +
       			"<x>100</x>" +
       			"<y>200</y>" +
       	  "</element>" +
      	  "<element>" +
       			"<x>200</x>" +
       			"<y>400</y>" +
       	  "</element>" +
      "</report>"

If ParseXML(0, Xml$) And XMLStatus(0) = #PB_XML_Success
	ExtractXMLList(MainXMLNode(0), Positions(), #PB_XML_NoCase)

	Debug ListSize(Positions())
	
	ForEach Positions()
		Debug Positions()\x
		Debug Positions()\y
	Next
Else
	Debug XMLError(0)
EndIf

If you replace the "<element>" node by another name, let's say "elem", it doesn't work anymore ???

Code: Select all

Structure Position
	x.l
	y.l
EndStructure
NewList Positions.Position()

Xml$ = "<report>" +
      	 "<elem>" +
       			"<x>100</x>" +
       			"<y>200</y>" +
       	  "</elem>" +
      	  "<elem>" +
       			"<x>200</x>" +
       			"<y>400</y>" +
       	  "</elem>" +
      "</report>"

If ParseXML(0, Xml$) And XMLStatus(0) = #PB_XML_Success
	ExtractXMLList(MainXMLNode(0), Positions(), #PB_XML_NoCase)

	Debug ListSize(Positions())
	
	ForEach Positions()
		Debug Positions()\x
		Debug Positions()\y
	Next
Else
	Debug XMLError(0)
EndIf

What did I missed ?

Internal specifications. It must be <element>

You probably missed to look into the help file of ExtractXMLList()?

The XML nodes must have the form described in the InsertXMLList() function. Nodes with different names are ignored by the extraction.

I read the documentation but I didn't understand that part. Having played a lot with the json library, I thought it worked in a similar way. So if I understand correctly, to retrieve data from an xml file with ExtractXMLList(), I need to rename the main node to "list" and the children to "element" ?
And whatabout the nested elements ?
