How to read items in this xml file?

[chenxu]

CODE

<?xml version="1.0" ?>

<menu>

<item name="item 1" exe="d:\test1.exe" arg="aaa, bbb"/>

<item name="item 2" exe="d:\test2.exe" arg="aaa, bbb"/>

<item name="item 3" exe="d:\test3.exe" arg="aaa, bbb"/>

<item name="item 4" exe="d:\test4.exe" arg="aaa, bbb"/>

<item name="item 5" exe="d:\test5.exe" arg="aaa, bbb"/>

</menu>

Ok, I tried to read your xml with this UDF.

I think it can´t be done because this UDF

assumes that your nodes have different names.

Here is my testcode:

#include <_XMLDomWrapper.au3>
#Include <Array.au3>
Const $file = "file.xml"

If _XMLFileOpen($file,"",-1) == -1 Then
    ConsoleWrite("can´t open file!"&@CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

$array = _XMLGetChildNodes("/menu")
_ArrayDisplay($array)
For $i=1 To $array[0]
    ConsoleWrite(_XMLGetAttrib($array[$i],"name")&@CRLF)
Next

Look at this -> #544372

Not true. It is very common to have multiple items with the same tag ("item" in this case), and they are then addressed by 1-based instance in the path used. From the example XML file, "/menu/item[2]" would address the second instance:

#include <_XMLDOMWrapper.au3>

; Open file
$sXML = "Test_1.xml"
If _XMLFileOpen($sXML,"",-1) = -1 Then
    ConsoleWrite("can´t open file!" & @CRLF)
    Exit
EndIf

; Get count of item nodes in menu
$iItems = _XMLGetNodeCount("/menu/item")
ConsoleWrite("$iItems = " & $iItems & @LF)

; List the "name" attribute of each item
For $i = 1 To $iItems
    ConsoleWrite(_XMLGetAttrib("/menu/item[" & $i & "]","name") & @CRLF)
Next

Google up the details of XML Path (or XPath) syntax for more details.
