Updating XML Keys within a TAG

[HariKara]

Hi All, 

Any AutoIT coders out there able to assist me? I have managed to work out how to update a "TAG", however, I now need to update a Key within the tag. XML code below:

XML CODE:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<configuration>
  <configSections>
    <sectionGroup name="userSettings" type="System.Configuration.UserSettingsGroup">
      <section name="CP.Infrastructure.Properties.Settings" type="System.Configuration.ClientSettingsSection" />
    </sectionGroup>
  </configSections>
  <userSettings>
    <CP.Infrastructure.Properties.Settings>
      <setting name="Dictionary" serializeAs="Xml">
        <value>
<dictionary>
  <items>
    <item key="LoginType">Username</item>
    <item key="LoginUsername">admin</item>
    <item key="LastConnectedServers">127.0.0.1</item>
    <item key="Fingerprint Server: 127.0.0.1">TEXT SPACE EDIT BEND IDEN WREN</item>
    <item key="GettingStarted">False</item>
  </items>
</dictionary></value>
      </setting>
    </CP.Infrastructure.Properties.Settings>
  </userSettings>
</configuration>

 

I want to set the XML key highlighted in RED above from 

    <item key="LoginUsername">admin</item>
 

To

    <item key="LoginUsername"></item>
 

I've tried many scripts but I either get a complete wipeout or nothing changes. Ive attached my base script that I'm trying. 

File2.au3

what version of the udf are you using, it's up to 1.1.1.13 now

[HariKara]

@Earthshine Im not sure how to check? I've not called any specific UDF in my script and I'm a Newbie at this... How could I check quickly?

 

Thanks

Hari

where did you get this

#include "_XMLDomWrapper.au3"

 

There is an XML UDF you can use

@Earthshine Copied and Pasted off the internet... See attached the named file.

_XMLDomWrapper.au3

[Earthshine]

I would use the ones from this site

[HariKara]

@Earthshine Thanks... I will download from this site, would this have impact on the code that I have written and resolve the issue im having?

Thanks

Hari

I guess you should make sure you are running the latest AutoIT as well as the Scintilla editor made for it as well

ok. good. those XML guru's can probably help you in that case. I'll do some more digging. I would assume you can update a key's value using the UDF, right? so make the value ""

found this thread. looks like the example given as an solution could be modified for your purposes, remove the offending node and create a new one maybe?

 

[Subz]

Local $sFileName = @ScriptDir & "\Filename.xml"
Local $oErrorHandler = ObjEvent("AutoIt.Error", "_XmlErrFunc")
Local $oXMLDoc = ObjCreate("MSXML2.DOMDocument")
    $oXMLDoc.validateOnParse = False
    $oXMLDoc.load($sFileName)
Local $oNode = $oXMLDoc.selectSingleNode('//configuration/userSettings/CP.Infrastructure.Properties.Settings/setting/value/dictionary/items/item[@key="LoginUsername"]')
$oNode.Text = ""
$oXMLDoc.save($sFileName)

Func _XmlErrFunc($oError)
    ConsoleWrite(@ScriptName & " (" & $oError.scriptline & ") : ==> COM Error intercepted !" & @CRLF & _
            @TAB & "err.number is: " & @TAB & @TAB & "0x" & Hex($oError.number) & @CRLF & _
            @TAB & "err.windescription:" & @TAB & $oError.windescription & @CRLF & _
            @TAB & "err.description is: " & @TAB & $oError.description & @CRLF & _
            @TAB & "err.source is: " & @TAB & @TAB & $oError.source & @CRLF & _
            @TAB & "err.helpfile is: " & @TAB & $oError.helpfile & @CRLF & _
            @TAB & "err.helpcontext is: " & @TAB & $oError.helpcontext & @CRLF & _
            @TAB & "err.lastdllerror is: " & @TAB & $oError.lastdllerror & @CRLF & _
            @TAB & "err.scriptline is: " & @TAB & $oError.scriptline & @CRLF & _
            @TAB & "err.retcode is: " & @TAB & "0x" & Hex($oError.retcode) & @CRLF & @CRLF)
EndFunc   ;==>_ErrFunc

But I guess that you download old not recent version XML_1.1.1.13.zip.
