_XMLCreateChildWAttr problem

[yair]

hi, i have an xml like

<configuration>
    <appSettings>
        <add key="root_path" value="D:\MvpT2Data"/>
    </appSettings>
</configuration>

using _xml UDF how do i add a key AND and value in the same path?

#include "_XMLDomWrapper.au3"
_XMLFileOpen("config.xml")
_XMLCreateChildWAttr("//appSettings","add", "key", "root_pathyy")

Does it return the node object? The you could do this:

$Node = _XMLCreateChildWAttr("//appSettings","add", "key", "root_pathyy")

_XMLCreateAttrib($Node,"value","X:\My\Path")

/Edit: No, it doesn't return an object. Instead, use an Array for attribName and attribValue:

Dim $Attribs[2] = ["key","value"]

Dim $values[2] = ["root_pathyy","X:\Path\yy"]

I concur with ProgAndy, otherwise you can just create the node, then use _XMLSetAttrib to add the attributes separately.

cool, this works

Dim $Attribs[2] = ["key","value"]
Dim $values[2] = ["root_path","X:\Path\yy"] 
_XMLCreateChildWAttr("//appSettings","add", $Attribs, $values)

now, whats the best method to overwrite the older child node?

assume the first attribute (key) stays unchanged but the second (root_path) should be changed.

edit:

weaponx, didnt see your reply, i'll check that setAttrib.

re-edit:

no, i dont get it.

What don't you get? The syntax is explained in the UDF. You just have to provide the path to the node you want to change.
