Robby, I suspect this is probably a typo, but the closing tag of your xml packet isn't a closing tag.

Looking at your code. The reason for this is that you are using the "yes" variable to store an array in both your outer "i" loop and your inner "j" loop. You need to use different variables for each loop, otherwise you'll be overwriting your outer array everytime you go around your inner array. Also, I suspect that you are trying to delete the wrong bit of your array. You need to be Try this : (I warn you there maybe errors. I typed this from your code and off the top of my head without testing it) <cfscript> // Loop over the children of c_dropx eg. <drop name="abba"> and <drop name="1221"> for (i=1; i lte arraylen(c_dropx); i=i+1) { // bung the structure for the current element into a new variable for ease thisElement = StructNew(); thisElement = c_dropx[i]; // Check the attributes of thisElement to see it is abba. if (thisElement.xmlattributes["name"] is "abba") // Loop over the children for thisElement, which would be the same as looping over the <drop_item> elements for (j=1;j lte arraylen(thisElement.xmlChildren); j=j+1) { // Store the current child structure in a variable thisChild for ease thisChild = StructNew(); thisChild = thisElement.xmlchildren[j]; if (thisChild.xmltext is "a") { WriteOutput(j&" - "&thisChild.xmltext&"<BR>"); arraydeleteat(thisElement.xmlchildren, j); } } } </cfscript> > The element at position 5 of dimension 1, of array variable "TT," cannot be > found is the one on the second try, and with it, the array itself is cfdumped, and > there is 5 elements in the array, I've read the docs > I've double checked what I know how. What the hell am I doing wrong? To be honest, I'm not sure what's up with your second bit of code. I really need to play with xml in CFMX some more, but here's the cfscript version of your code. I suspect, that you have the same problem here as you do above, where you are trying to delete the array from the wrong place in the data structure. <cfscript> for (i=1;i lte arraylen(tt); i=i+1) { if (tt[i].xmltext is "a") { arraydeleteat(tt, i); } } </cfscript> Hope some of this helps some how.
