Excuse my inexperience but when I call a web service I get an object.
Let's say "o". I downloaded XML Notepad. How do I view "o"? is it a
file on my system? Is it in memory? How do I view it in XML Notepad?
A little help with this would be greatly appreciated.

returns of this web service are well documented but this one is not.
Question 1, is there a way I can convert the returned object (XML file)
to something I can read, like a text file?
Since there is a hierarchy of tags, how do I determine how to reference
the tag I want?
TIA
Jeff,
XML Notepad 2007 has been a great helper to me.

If this XML has embedded namespaces, you'll need to load them in a search to
be able to search them in the returned XML object.
You search for items in your XML using a namespace:element
Here is something I used in a recent test project:
xml.setProperty("SelectionNamespaces", [xmlns:ns0="] + xml.namespaces[0]
+ [" xmlns:ns1="] + xml.namespaces[1] + ["])
nextLinkNode = xml.selectSingleNode("ns0:feed/ns0:link[@rel='next']")
ns0 is the first namespace found in the XML document
feed and link are elements
rel is an attribute of the link element
next is the value of rel that I'm specifically looking for
In an XML document, the embedded namespaces would look like
<feed xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/Atom";>
If your XML document doesn't have inline namespaces, this is just extra that
you don't need.
