As long as you don't use the same variable "xml" for all of your function results, you won't have to re-parse the xml. Regardless, of the size of the xml source, it would be a waste of processing to parse it twice in the same request.
cfset xmlObj = xmlParse(xmlSource) cfset xmlResult = xmlSearch(xmlObj, "//root/") cfset xmlString = xmlResult[1].toString() M!ke -----Original Message----- From: Ian Sheridan [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Tuesday, June 13, 2006 10:24 AM To: CF-Talk Subject: Re: XML - looking to return an XML object original parced format Well this is about returning the data structure to a state that it was in when you first parsed the xml. Which I have figured out how to do. Here it is: <cfset xml = xmlparse(xml) > <cfset xml = xmlsearch(xml,"//root/") > <cfset xml = xml[1].tostring() > <cfset xml = xmlparse(xml) > done... :) - Ian ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:4:243350 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/4 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:4 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.4 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
