XML - Current thinking
Posted: Thu Dec 06, 2007 03:57 PM

In the past there have been some articles on using XML with FWH / xHarbour. I now have to include this capability in my program. I must make calls to a DLL in XML format, and the data will be returned in the same manner.

What is the current methodology used by FWH programmers for working with XML ?

You input or links to articles would be appreciated.

Tim :D

I downloaded and ran the test ... it failed on the 2nd and 3rd example. I tried to look at the help file and it said the links are not valid.

Any other thoughts on XML ?

Thanks.

It can be manipulated by xHarbour XML routines.
Check out \xHarbour\tests\xmltests.prg and \xHarbour\doc\hbxml.txt

I use the commercial version also, but I always download and install the source code for reference and examples.

If you need an example let me know.

I just looked in the xHarbour Language Reference Guide in the commercial version. There you will find information for TXmlDocument(), TXmlNode(), TXmlIterator(), etc.

Thanks. I had already done that. My mind is rather impacted today. My mother has rapidly declined in the past few months and its constant trips regarding her care/needs. However, I did do the XML search, found the references, and will build some test to work with the product ASAP. I appreciate the focus toward the right place.
