I'm learning. :) There are couple of pitfalls obviously, as noted by this post to the fpc-pascal mailing list. http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg04796.html I'm not sure if the difference between Delphi and FPC still exist. The other tricky thing was the "hidden text node", and the leaf node that has an "invisible" NodeValue property, but no way of writing that value out to a XML file. eg: { The FPC DOM way... } n := doc.DocumentElement.FirstChild.FirstChild.NodeName; v := doc.DocumentElement.FirstChild.FirstChild.FirstChild.NodeValue; writeln(Format('n = %s v = %s', [n, v])); { The FPC DOM way... } n := doc.DocumentElement.FirstChild.FirstChild.NodeName; v := doc.DocumentElement.FirstChild.FirstChild.TextContent; writeln(Format('n = %s v = %s', [n, v])); I got this now. Both the above examples produce the same output. But where in the XML is the following stored? n := doc.DocumentElement.FirstChild.FirstChild.NodeValue; This always returns a empty string. I'm using the following XML sample --------------------------------------- <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?> <BAIS_XML Version='1.0'> <RESPOND ID="BAIS"> <RESPOND_TIME>2005.01.20 12:26:58</RESPOND_TIME> </RESPOND> <REQUEST ID="SI1"> <REQUEST_TIME>2005.01.20 12:26:58</REQUEST_TIME> </REQUEST> <CONTENT ID="L1"> <USER ID="simba"> <GROUP ID="1">Operator bank</GROUP> <NAME>Bisma Jayadi</NAME> <ALIAS>simba</ALIAS> <PASSPORT>FB0woDvKVE4AFQW29a9E</PASSPORT> </USER> <LOCATION ID="1"> <CODE>UPPTI.1</CODE> <NAME>Komputer Bisma</NAME> </LOCATION> </CONTENT> </BAIS_XML> --------------------------------------- PS: I also had to Google the meaning or difference between a XML Node and an XML Element. I hate XML! :) -- Regards, - Graeme - _______________________________________________ fpGUI - a cross-platform Free Pascal GUI toolkit http://fpgui.sourceforge.net -- _______________________________________________ Lazarus mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lazarus.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/lazarus
