Hi,
The parser (parseString) doesn't need a reference necessarily a reference to
a text/field member. The string can also be in a local/global variable.
you can use fileIO xtra to read the file and stick the content either in a
local variable or in a field/text member and then parse it with
parseString()
first sample (using a local variable)
f = new(xtra "fileio")
f.openfile("c:\test.xml",1)
theText = f.readfile()
f.closeFile()
-- the use ParseString on theText
first sample (using a text member)
f = new(xtra "fileio")
f.openfile("c:\test.xml",1)
member("xml").text = f.readfile()
f.closeFile()
-- the use ParseString on member("xml").text
