Ben, Thanks for your help. It works great!
I have another question that I'm not sure if you will be able to answer or not. If I have 3 levels of hierarchy in my XML and I want to remove level 2 (but not its children - level 3) how would you go about doing that? Eliminate level 2 while promoting level 3. <level1> <level2> <level3/> <level3/> <level3/> </level2> </level1> Transformed to... <level1> <level3/> <level3/> <level3/> </level1> --- In [email protected], "ben.clinkinbeard" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Wow, I had no idea deleting a set of nodes would be this hard. > Apparently this is how its done: > > for each(var node:XML in myXML..remove) > { > delete(myXML..remove[node.childIndex()]); > } > > HTH, > Ben > > > --- In [email protected], "phipzkillah" <pkrasko@> wrote: > > > > How can I remove a selection of children from an xml tree. > > > > var myXML:XML = > > <root> > > <cluster> > > <remove> > > <garbage/> > > <garbage/> > > <garbage> > > <garbage1/> > > <garbage2/> > > <garbage3/> > > </garbage> > > </remove> > > <remove> > > <garbage> > > <garbage1/> > > <garbage2/> > > </garbage> > > <garbage/> > > </remove> > > > > <keep> > > <info/> > > <info/> > > <info> > > <goodStuff/> > > <goodStuff/> > > <goodStuff> > > <good1/> > > <good2/> > > </goodStuff> > > </info> > > </keep> > > </cluster> > > </root> > > > > ...................... > > > > Now I want to keep all the good stuff. > > > > I want the final xml tree to look like this: > > <root> > > <cluster> > > <keep> > > <info/> > > <info/> > > <info> > > <goodStuff/> > > <goodStuff/> > > <goodStuff> > > <good1/> > > <good2/> > > </goodStuff> > > </info> > > </keep> > > </cluster> > > </root> > > > > I tried doing this with no luck: > > > > myXML = delete myXML..remove; > > > > Any ideas why that doesn't work? > > >
