Hello, I am using LC-6.6.2 on Debian.
I have been experimenting with revXMLib lately. One of my objectives is to process 15000 xml-files, 3 different kinds. Btw I am migrating a huge Drupal-site (exported to XML) to LiveCode. First the encoding challenge had to be vaulted: a) xml-lib won't load the xml if the encoding is not the correct one. b) if set parseBadData to true, it will load, but special-chars are incorrectly handled (gibberish). c) if load fails because of one encoding (UTF-8), then I replace it with another (iso-8859-1) & try again. d) even with dynamic encoding-swap, it still requires some processing to transcode certain chars. e) this works adequately now, but I pray that future versions of LC will make this easier & seamless. First bug: 1. I load a tree, pass the appropriate id to revXML cmds & functions, fine so-far. 2. with revXMLChildContents set to root node, and includePathDetails set to "full", I get all children (xpaths) + their values. 3. but if I use revXMLNodeContents, pass one of the xpaths, the value I get may contain gibberish instead of special-chars. 4. IOW, revXMLChildContents decodes special-chars (é, è, à, etc) correctly, but revXMLNodeContents does not. 5. workaround = use revXMLChildContents, with tab as delim, item 1 is attrName, item 2 is attrValue. 6. can save this tab-delimited table as a .xls file, use Data Grid, load xls table as an array for fetching specific attributes. Second bug: 1. when I load a second tree, pass id required, the values fetched are the values of the first tree, not the second tree. 2. if I add more trees, each with its own ID, the values fetched are still the values of the first tree only. 3. workaround = use revDeleteAllXMLTrees before creating any tree, to insure that only ONE is loaded at a time. If this is not the appropriate place for bug reports, I am sorry, and please forward it to the right place. I have already spent an entire frustrating day on this. I have no energy left.
