I've bloody done it!
You wouldn't believe that I couldn't find a single example on the web
that does even remotely does what I need, it's all .."almost that" but
"not quite" and the other "almost that" that does the "not quite"
doesn't work with the first "almost that"!?
The answer is always...roll up the sleves and dig into the poo!
I mean..what's all this XML stuff anyway...just bloody nested property
lists...and why complicating peoples' lifes by inventing
multidimensional arrays and other big words when we can make them even
more complicated...
Hey I have an idea...lets make everything as a big text file and put
everything in <> and call that nested tags and then make loads of tools
that can write that and more parsers that can read that
and..and..and...my assssss!
Huh...hehehe...pfffffff....anyway, if anyone needs a basic VB Script
code that "simply" steps through an XML doc or http post and gets the
names and values so you can do something with them ...here it is, it
goes only 2 levels through the nests...bloody 8 hours on Saturday for
these few lines...sob
