XML help

[jbc1]

Hi,

I need some help updating an XML file using AutoIT. My XML file looks like this:

CODE

<?xml version="1.0"?>

<status script="test1.exe">

</status>

I need to update this each time a new script runs with the name of the new script, i.e. if a script called 'test2.exe' was ran, the script attribute would be updated to 'test2.exe'.

Here is my (NOT WORKING) code, can anybody help me out here ??

expandcollapse popup

; Update status.xml file with current script running
$filename = @ScriptDir & "\status.xml"

$oXML = _CreateMSXMLObj()
If Not IsObj($oXML) Then
    ; log message here
EndIf

$oXML.async = False
$error = $oXML.Load($filename)
If Not $error Then
    ; log message here
EndIf

; XML processing
$oXMLRoot = $oXML.documentElement
$oStatusNode = $oXML.selectSingleNode("//status")
$oStatusNode.setattribute("script", @ScriptName)




Func _CreateMSXMLObj() ; Creates a MSXML instance depending on the version installed on the system
    $xmlObj = ObjCreate("Msxml2.DOMdocument.6.0") ; Latest available, default in Vista
    If IsObj($xmlObj) Then Return $xmlObj
        
    $xmlObj = ObjCreate("Msxml2.DOMdocument.5.0") ; Office 2003
    If IsObj($xmlObj) Then Return $xmlObj
        
    $xmlObj = ObjCreate("Msxml2.DOMdocument.4.0") 
    If IsObj($xmlObj) Then Return $xmlObj
        
    $xmlObj = ObjCreate("Msxml2.DOMdocument.3.0") ; XP and w2k3 server
    If IsObj($xmlObj) Then Return $xmlObj
        
    $xmlObj = ObjCreate("Msxml2.DOMdocument.2.6") ; Win98 ME...
    If IsObj($xmlObj) Then Return $xmlObj
        
    Return 0
    
EndFunc

Hi,

how should the xml look like after inserting a few scripts? There is also a XMLDOMWrapper in S&S.

The only thing that changes in the XML is the value of the 'scritp' attribute. Only one script is being run at a tim, so this value should just reflect the running script.

Hi,

then just read the file and replace the value between <status script=" and >

Your code is fine, you just need to finish it.

If you add this after "setattribute" you will see the xml is correct:

ConsoleWrite($oXML.xml & @CRLF)

You aren't saving it though.

$oXML.save($filename)

Thanks man. It works OK now. I guess I'm an idiot for assuming it auto-saved after I wrote to the file.

Thanks again,

You haven't done something dumb enough to be worthy of the "idiot" title. You have achieved the rank of "bonehead".
