Suppose x:XML is the XML you show above. The "myChild" tags are
already accessible "as if" they were an array; for example, you can say
trace(x.myChild[0].toXMLString());
which will output
<mychild id="1.1" task="do this" tools="hammer"/>
Also, to access an attribute, you can use any of the following:
trace(x.myChild[0].attribute("id"));
trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]"id"]);
trace([EMAIL PROTECTED]);
all of which will output the string "1.1".
To use the XML as an array (sort of), you can use code such as:
for (i=0; i<x.myChild.length(); i++) {
trace(i+" id "[EMAIL PROTECTED]);
}
x.myChild.length() returns the number of elements which are tags of
the type "myChild" (note the parens; it's ".length()", not ".length").
All this and more (e.g., the ability to only refer to myChild tags
which have the attribute tool=="hammer") can be found in the help docs
