Can someone tell me what is wrong with this recursive function? [ Long e-mail - code and examples]

[DURETTE, STEVEN J (AIT)]

Hi all,

I have written a recursive function that isn't displaying information
correctly and I was wondering if anyone else could see what I am doing
wrong.

Here is the code:
<cffunction name="parseXML" returntype="string">
 <cfargument name="xmlChild" required="Yes" type="any">
 <cfargument name="preChars" required="No" type="string" default="">
 
 <cfset var myRetVal = "">
 <cfset var myStructList = "">
 <cfset var theLoop = "">
 <cfset var secLoop = "">
 <cfset preChars = preChars & "&nbsp;&nbsp;">
 
 <cfif isXMLRoot(xmlChild)>
  <cfset myRetVal = xmlChild.xmlName & "<br />">
 <cfelse>
  <cfset myRetVal = preChars & xmlChild.xmlName>
  <cfif xmlChild.xmlText NEQ "">
   <cfset myRetVal = myRetVal & ":&nbsp;" & xmlChild.xmlText>
  </cfif>
  <cfset myRetVal = myRetVal & "<br />">
 </cfif>
 
 <cfif not structIsEmpty(xmlChild.xmlAttributes)>
  <cfset myStructList = structKeyList(xmlChild.xmlAttributes, ",")>
  <cfloop list="#myStructList#" delimiters="," index="theLoop">
   <cfset myRetVal = "&nbsp;&nbsp;" & theLoop & "&nbsp;" &
xmlChild.xmlAttributes["#theLoop#"] & "<br />">
  </cfloop>
 </cfif>
 
 <cfif arrayLen(xmlChild.xmlChildren)>
  <cfloop from="1" to="#arrayLen(xmlChild.xmlChildren)#" index="secLoop">
   <cfset myRetVal = myRetVal & parseXML(xnChild.xmlChildren[secLoop],
preChars)>
  </cfloop>
 </cfif>

 <cfreturn myRetVal>
</cffunction>

Here is the output:
ScanResults
    MachineName: TestMachine
    Domain: TestDomain
    Product:  
      MachineName: TestMachine
      Domain: TestDomain
    Product:  
      MachineName: TestMachine
      Domain: TestDomain
    Product:  
      MachineName: TestMachine
The test is done!

Here is what it looks like if I code it manually with out a function
(knowing exactly what my test xml document looks like, I will have no idea
what the final xml will look like hence the function):
Report Name: ScanResults
  ScanDateTime : Mon Aug 18 11:10:24 2003

It's probably something simple, I'm just not seeing it this morning.

Thanks,
Steve
