I would like to know how to replace a particular text which is there across the XML file.

Sample:

<General><id extension="0" [b]root="1.366680386.0" [/b]/></General><Corporate><id extension="0" root="1.366680386.0" /></Corporate>

need to replace the text under the "root". Please share code/suggest how to go ahead

Eh, first of this isn't the help section of the forums. Second, i can hardly understand what you mean...I guess you want to replace "1.366680386.0". You either do that with StringRegExpReplace() Or use _StringBetween() which will give you the string(word/number) between two strings. For Example _StringBetween($string,'extension="0" root=', '/>') would return '"1.366680386.0"' You then use that string with StringReplace()

You can use the StringRegExpReplace() function for replacing strings. The best thing to do (if you want to work directly on the xml) is to take a look at the made by Eltorro. The thread has a lot of examples of Autoit working with xml and with this UDF you can use xpath on your xml file. For your specific case it's hard to give a good code example, because you only posted a part of the xml, but you may look at sample below:

Input:

<General>

<Corporate>

<id extension="0" root="1.366680386.0"/>

</Corporate>

<Corporate>

<id extension="0" root="1.366680386.0" />

</Corporate>

</General>

Sample Autoit Code:

#include <_XMLDomWrapper.au3>

$sFile = @ScriptDir & "\sample.xml"

If FileExists($sFile) Then

  $ret = _XMLFileOpen($sFile)
  If $ret = 0 Then Exit
 
  _XMLSetAttrib("//id","root","*")

EndIf

output:

<General>

<Corporate>

<id extension="0" root="*"/>

</Corporate>

<Corporate>

<id extension="0" root="*"/>

</Corporate>

</General>
