Hi all, I'm new to Labview so apologies in advance if this seems like a simple question, but I have a configuration XML file that i will set various parameters within to control measurement equipment. I have tried reading this XML file but i'm really struggling! I need to read the contents of the individual elements, and where applicable also count the number of elements. Is there an easy way that I am able to achieve this? I've been playing around with this for a few days now and I still can't get what i'm looking for. I'm currently running Labview 2016 (32 bit). Thanks in advance! 🙂

Ben, that example seemed to work perfectly and was exactly what I was after. Is there an easy way of determining the number of children within a certain parent? For example, using my .xml example, if I wanted to determine the number of traces within <measurement number="1"> (in this example it should return 2) as I'm planning on looping through them when I configure the measurement equipment. Many thanks again for your support! Charlie Instead of using Match First Node use Match All Nodes. Use the resulting array of nodes to index a FOR loop. Here is a quick example. You will still have to parse the inside part of the FOR loop. I used Get XML to show that it is getting the desired nodes. Ben64

Read XML data

Solved!

Thank you so much to all those that have helped. I've started learning XPath now and as you say Kevin, it makes it much easier to understand and it seems logical.

Thanks again! 🙂
