I just added the new static method XMLNode.Deserialize() in revision #5906 for this purpose. For example,
Print XMLNode.Deserialize("Select * From mytable Where id < 10") Will print : Select * From mytable Where id < 10 Caveat : If you use the FromText() method, you don't actually need to put your text in any element. Text nodes are nodes too. :) Just be careful not to give an empty string, otherwise FromText() will give you back an empty array, and accessing myNoddies[0] will raise an "Out of bounds" error ! Fabien : the "short way" of doing this would actually be : Print XMLElement.FromText("text")[0].TextContent (again, while ensuring that the given text is not empty). FromText() returns an array of nodes. :) Regards, -- Adrien Prokopowicz Le Sat, 19 Oct 2013 11:45:03 +0200, Fabien Bodard <gambas...@gmail.com> a écrit: > Le 19 oct. 2013 11:23, "Caveat" <gam...@caveat.demon.co.uk> a écrit : >> >> Just use FromText... >> >> Dim myNoddies As XMLNode[] >> Dim aNode As XMLNode >> myNoddies = XMLElement.FromText("<SQL>Select * From table1 where abc >> < 123</SQL>") >> Print myNoddies.Count >> aNode = myNoddies[0] >> Print aNode.TextContent >> >> Returns: >> 1 >> Select * From table1 where abc < 123 >> > > Well > > Print xmlelement.fromtext("text").content >> >> Kind regards, >> Caveat >> >> On 19/10/13 11:09, Bruce wrote: >> > What is the opposite of XMLElement.Serialize(text as String)? >> > >> > ( I want my SQL text back as "...
