Read/get xml data (string)

[Wiebe@CARYA]

Paul,

Glad we agree on that. It took me quite a lot of time to build by XML
parser... The main difference between a parser and getting a value is that a
parser can be used to insert, copy, delete and modify attributes, elements,
comments and cdata.

Regards,

Wiebe.

Simon,

I'm sorry to hear that you're having trouble getting VIPM to connect to the Internet.  One simple solution might be to check if you have firewall or Internet security software running on your machine -- if so, try turning that off.  If you are still having problems, please contact our customer support department here.  We'll help you get up and running, so that you can evaluate EasyXML.

Thanks,

Hi Jim

It turned out that it was just a very agressive firewall 🙂

About easyXML, that is nice, very good tool to extract the XML data, even though I have never worked with XML data or easyXML before, I figured it out in a couple of hours. The most difficult task, I think, is to build the whole cluster with arrays, strings and more cluster. I don't know if I made the clusters in the optimal way, but it works, and I can extract whatever data that I want. Would you take a look at my vi please and see if I can build it in a better way?

About installing the package. When I chose to install jki_lib_easyxml, it didn't say what dependencies it needed eventhough it is mentioned in the info, so I had to install these manually. 
jki_rsc_toolkits_palette >= 1.0
nirsc_html_help_common >= 2.0
oglib_string >= 2.6
oglib_lvdata >= 2.8
oglib_error >= 2.3
oglib_array >= 2.7

But when I wanted to install jki_rsc_toolkits_palette, it automatically installed the dependencies, perhaps a small bug when installing easyxml, that it doesn't automatically install dependencies?

Well nice libpackage anyway, thx alot.

Best regards
Simon

Great.  I'm glad you got it working.

Yes, this can be a little tricky -- especially if you haven't used EasyXML, before.  It get's easier after you've done it a couple times.  In a future version, we're considering adding a tool that will create the cluster for you, given an xml string.

I took a look at your VI.  You built it correctly.  I took the liberty of completing the edges data structure -- I think that it is complete, now.

We'll take a look into that.  I've seen something similar.  It could have been due to the fact that your network connection was firewalled, when VIPM was initially trying to obtain the package list.  But, the dependency resolution should be installing all of the packages correctly.

You're welcome.  Please let us know if you have any issues or suggestions.

Thanks,
