Greetings,
I have been given several medium sized 3-5MB text files with lots of
xml tags that I need to parse into human readable, formatted text. Are
there any ways to deal with this 'automatically' or do I need to
interpret each tag with an equivalent format in LC? Any pointers for
accomplishing
Ron,
If your files are XML files you should use RevXML routines to parse them.
The user guide has a section on RevXML if I remember correctly. The
dictionary can also be used if you select the library section and choose
XML.
LiveCode has a lot of XML goodness in it. =)
Although not about XML

I'd go with what Andre said, but with the caveat that xml was never
meant to be a human-readable format.

I'd say, don't use the revxml functions, but go with the itemdel linedel
approach:
- only if this is a one time job, or the files are made by a stable source
(not accepting _any_ xml or error prone sources)
- Don't use a fuckton of the weirder type of data containers
