Robdutoit Robdutoit Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2012-03-27 Posts: 363 Loc: London, England	In Powershell I would do something like this: Code: $XML = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM") $XML.LoadXML("Insert Elements here") $XML.Save($Filename) This would have the effect of creating an XML instance, manipulate the xml structure and finally save the xml into a document. However in Kixtart, I need to do something like this: Code: $XML = CreateObject("Microsoft.XMLDOM") $= $loadXml.Load($filename) $XML.Save($Filename) So like Powershell, I can create an XML instance and save the xml into a document. However, I need to load the xml content from a file - Kixtart doesn't seem to support the same ability as Powershell to "load" the xml from whatever I type in the section ("Insert Elements here"). Does Kixtart not have a command similar to $XML.LoadXML("Insert Elements here")

There was significant work done years ago to try and create an XML library, but there was limited success. You might search the UDF library and see if any of the work done would prove useful. Personally - I've avoided using XML, favoring either the native INI files for configurations or JSON for data exchange. I wrote a JSON parsing function in Kix, but that's part of our commercial tool set and not available publicly. _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$

Robdutoit Robdutoit Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2012-03-27 Posts: 363 Loc: London, England	Thank you for confirming this. The reason why I am asking is because I use Kixtart to create new windows Libraries (in addition to Documents, Music, Pictures and Videos). Up till now, I have always used an xml template file that I loaded and made the changes that I need - specifically in this case the url. I will just content myself with tidying up the coding for the xml as Chatgpt has suggested a much more compact coding as my current udfs contain coding that is not necessary to achieve what I want. I can't find the UDF library. It just displays blank pages now! If Kixtart doesn't natively support it, I am happy to continue to use a template xml file that needs to be loaded to create new Windows libraries.

Alternatively - click the Advanced button on Search, select UDF Library from the list, change the date range to 20 and search for XML. _________________________ Actually I am a Rocket Scientist! $\:D$

Robdutoit Robdutoit Hey THIS is FUN Registered: 2012-03-27 Posts: 363 Loc: London, England	The UDF link is working today. It wasn't working yesterday. I got a message something about the UDF not being available any more as the two links no longer sorted the UDF's - or something to that effect. I am not sure why it's working when it wasn't yesterday! Anyhow I have tidied up my xml coding, getting rid of a lot of lines of code that I never needed! I am not fussed about having to load an xml file. I just wondered if Kixtart supported xml manipulation without loading a file. Am happy to leave the coding as is as my biggest problem was the amount of coding I was using to do the job in the past. Maybe the links were down yesterday which might explain why it's working now?
