Install & xml compare?

[ledigeine]

No i know that, i just named it root for this example in my xml its named something else. Just because its work related.

I don't get why "//vers" worked tho, how does it know where vers is? does // just assume vers is right under the root node?

// are relative, while / are absolute...so if you use // it will find the node, no matter how far nested it is in the XML structure...if use /, then it must be one level below

suggest the following read:

http://www.w3schools.com/xpath/xpath_intro.asp

Expression Description nodename Selects all nodes with the name "nodename" / Selects from the root node // Selects nodes in the document from the current node that match the selection no matter where they are . Selects the current node .. Selects the parent of the current node @ Selects attributes

Ahh very good, you're a real piece of work. Thank you for the help.

Looking at how you did it, i dont know why id use a UDF when autoit seems to be able to do things just fine on its own.

it's easier to reference functions then remember syntax/methods/etc, but again, I don't mind doing the direct calls
