Hello,
once more I have to see, that my knowledge about XML is too poor, even to use this existing XML UDF
If it should be a better approach to make use of StringRegEx, or maybe a totally different approach, any suggestions will be mostly appreciated.
 
I downloaded the ZIP XML_1.1.1.13 and tried to get how to use it from the sample AU3 files included in that ZIP file, well, I don't really get it😵
 
 
What I want to do:
My mobile phone's backup contain all the contacts in an XML file. This is an example of such a file, backupinfo.xml, shortened to show just one fictive entry:
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <ContactRecords> <contact> <structuredName> <displayName>Max Mustermann</displayName> <givenName>Max</givenName> <familyName>Mustermann</familyName> <prefixName /> <middleName /> <suffixName /> <phoneticGivenName /> <phoneticMiddleName /> <phoneticFamily /> </structuredName> <organization> <company>Schlosserei Mustermann GmbH</company> <department /> <title /> </organization> <phones> <phone> <number>07652 881 8181</number> <type>home</type> <customLabel /> </phone> <phone> <number>0 800 435 2758</number> <type>work</type> <customLabel /> </phone> <phone> <number>+49 160 4321 222</number> <type>mobile</type> <customLabel /> </phone> </phones> <emails /> <addresses /> <ims /> <WebSites /> <Events /> <note /> <nickName /> <photo /> <netPhone /> <groups> <group> <groupName>Ungrouped</groupName> </group> </groups> </contact> </ContactRecords>  
Basically I want to search my mobile's contacts for phone numbers to, to see, what contact they belong to. Propably it will make the task much more easy, when standardizing the mobile's contact XML to hold all numbers in "international-notation-without-any-whitespaces" (thats no problem):
 
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?> <ContactRecords> <contact> <structuredName> <displayName>Max Mustermann</displayName> <givenName>Max</givenName> <familyName>Mustermann</familyName> <prefixName /> <middleName /> <suffixName /> <phoneticGivenName /> <phoneticMiddleName /> <phoneticFamily /> </structuredName> <organization> <company>Schlosserei Mustermann GmbH</company> <department /> <title /> </organization> <phones> <phone> <number>+4976528818181</number> <type>home</type> <customLabel /> </phone> <phone> <number>+498004352758</number> <type>work</type> <customLabel /> </phone> <phone> <number>+491604321222</number> <type>mobile</type> <customLabel /> </phone> </phones> <emails /> <addresses /> <ims /> <WebSites /> <Events /> <note /> <nickName /> <photo /> <netPhone /> <groups> <group> <groupName>Ungrouped</groupName> </group> </groups> </contact> </ContactRecords>  
What I would like to get from the XML file as a result, e.g. searching the phone number "+491604321222"
Present in XML  or not (true) if present then return the values for... type (mobile) givenname (Max) familyname (Mustermann) company (Schlosserei Mustermann GmbH) optional: Other node names and their values within that contact, when not "empty" (like in this examle <emails /> or <middlename />)  
The values from #2 - #6 would be perfect when returned in a 2D Array, Col0 = name, Col1 = value.
Regards, Rudi.
 

Dear all, i am unable to open a xml file to excel in the "xml table format" Please help me out in where i am missing
Local $strFileToOpen = _WinAPI_OpenFileDlg('Select xml file', @WorkingDir, 'All Files(*.*)', 1, '', '', BitOR($OFN_PATHMUSTEXIST, $OFN_FILEMUSTEXIST, $OFN_HIDEREADONLY)) Global $xlXmlLoadImportToList = 2 ; Places the contents of the XML data file in an XML table $oExcel = _Excel_Open() $oWorkbook1=$oExcel.Workbooks.OpenXML($strFileToOpen, "", $xlXmlLoadImportToList) If $strFileToOpen <> False Then     Local $oWorkbook1 = _Excel_BookOpen($oExcel, $strFileToOpen) EndIf Error i am getting is:
......\81e_Compare_v1.au3" (46) : ==> The requested action with this object has failed.:
$oWorkbook1=$oExcel.Workbooks.OpenXML($strFileToOpen, "", $xlXmlLoadImportToList)
$oWorkbook1=$oExcel.Workbooks^ ERROR
>Exit code: 1    Time: 7.338

I have been using the XML UDF successfully for sometime. I am now tring to add in error handling for some bad XML files I run into.
$oXmlDoc = _XML_CreateDOMDocument(Default) _XML_Load($oXmlDoc,$sFileXML) ;<== ENTER XML FILE PATH HERE If @error Then ; ConsoleWrite(StringFormat("_XML_load error - @error = %s", @error) & @CRLF) ; ConsoleWrite("-" & $sFileXML & @CRLF) Exit -1 EndIf ConsoleWrite("-" & $sFileXML & @CRLF) ;If no specified nodes exist, log error and exit If Not _XML_NodeExists($oXmlDoc, "//Property") Then ; ConsoleWrite("No specified nodes exist" & @CRLF) Exit -1 EndIf ;Get number of Property nodes $oProperties = _XML_SelectNodes($oXmlDoc,"//Property/Data") $iNodeCount = @extended $oParents = $oXmlDoc.SelectSingleNode("//Property[@Name='Parents']/Data") There are no error upto this point. The XML file I am trying to handle has a Data node but when I try to
$sParam = StringSplit($oParents.text, ";") I get a fatal error (requested action on object failed). How can I test for the problem before I try to do the string split? I tried using @error, and testing $oParents but no luck.
Appreciate any tips.

I am trying to read an XML file that looks like the following. I am particularly interested in the ParameterNames and ParameterValues
 
I was able to read a simplier XML file using
$oXML.load("DataForwardSettings.xml") Local $oInfos = $oXML.selectnodes("//Database") ; or //Info or //Data//Info or //Values/Info  but have not been able to read

I am particularly interested in the ParameterNames and ParameterValues.
