Hi friends,
in my current project I need to deal with VERY small XML files
with maybe up to 20 entries.
So using the XML external seems to be a bit overkill.
Some time ago I found a little reg ex here on the list which I turned
into a function and will return me everything inside of a given XML tag:
...
<tag1>bla bla</tag1>
<tag2>more bla bla</tag2>
...
So with this text above in tText and "tag2" int tTag:
function mk_getXMLdata tText, tTag
get matchText(tText,"(?s)<" & tTag & ">(.*?)</" & tTag & ">",tValue)
return tValue
end mk_getXMLdata
will give : more bla bla
So far so good, I even almost understand the reg ex ;-)
Now I am looking for another little snippet to (over) write something in(to)
a certain TAG, know what I mean?
If someone could supply a nifty "replacetext" snippet that would be great! :-)
Thanks in advance!
Best
Klaus
