I have to re-write my Rate parser since USPSD changed not just the rates but
the service names etc today.
So I do not get burned like this again I wanted to change the XPath I use
and only get back the rates my client wants anyway.
Since the send the service ID attribute anyway this should be easy but I get
the syntax right for Witango it works fine in my XML editor as an XPATH
query but not in Witango
The XML file is attached
Right at this point I would love to get just my client requested rates back
<@ASSIGN request$usps_result value="<@DOM value='@@fromUSPS'>">
I wanted to use syntax like this
<@ELEMENTVALUE object=request$usps_result XPath=//[EMAIL PROTECTED] or @ID=3]
type=array>
I want to use the XPATH in order to limit the @DOM Value so it only holds
the Service elements that I am interested in. Then I can just walk the path
and build my array.
The documentation is sparse on this.
I could use help.
Of course this all happened without warning this morning so we can't take
foreign orders till I get this fixed.
