I do some pretty crazy E4X parsing, filtering and validation with Gaia. Here are some examples: // get all nodes named page or asset in the entire XML var nodes:XMLList = xml.descendants().(name() == "page" || name() == "asset"); // from those nodes, find any that don't have both id and src attributes var invalidNodes:XMLList = nodes.(!attribute("id").length() || ! attribute("src").length()); // get all nodes where id is not alphanumeric or begins with a number invalidNodes = nodes.(!(/^[a-z_][a-z0-9_]*$/i.test(@id))); // this one is complex but basically it isolates nodes that do not have a valid // class package path in a package attribute var packageNodes:XMLList = xml.descendants(). (attribute("package").length() > 0); invalidNodes = packageNodes.(!(/^[a-z][\w\.]*\w+$/ i.test(attribute("package")))); As you can see, combining E4X and RegEx you can do some CRAZY stuff. _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
