XML Update Element Text

[jlgeris]

I am struggling to find an example of how to update an already existing elment text value. I can load the XML string without a problem, but I would like to change that single element of the XML string and output the whole string with the change. Can someone point me in the right direction?

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TestStructure>
  <Sample>0</Sample>
</TestStructure>

as the input, and then

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<TestStructure>
  <Sample>[UPDATED VALUE]</Sample>
</TestStructure>

as the output.

Thank you.

If your XML-string format is fixed then you can easily insert the new value with "Format Into String" -function and then feeding the changed XML-string into the Write method.

Note: The "New value" can naturally also be text. In that case replace the Numeric control with String control and use %s instead of %d in string format..

Thanks, but unfortunately I can't count on the XML structure being that consistent. I was just using a small example. I'm working with a rather large XML file and I was hoping there was a way to do this a little more dynamically. For example, find the existing node I want to edit, update the value, then output the new DOM document. I can't seem to get the right combination of property and method nodes to perform this function.

Okey. Parsing and updating the XML-content itself is easy. The updating-part I do dynamically myself using the Match pattern -function and recreating the XML-output string. I'm not sure if there's any good general help on finding the right nodes and properties. I know the methods and structure of my own WebService, so that part is no problem for me.

This example replaces the Sample's value. It is not a complete solution, but maybe can help you

Hi,

You can update the xml by using labVIEW drivers also.

This is also one of the way...

Try it.
