how to read an xml database using xsd file in labview

[shabu]

I have Labview 8.5. I have an xml file (Database) that contains data from sensors. The data doesnt conform to the LabView's xml schema we have our own schema for the data. is there a way to extract the  digitized waveform data from this xml file by using our own xsd file?

You may want to check into Easy XML:

There's also the free LabXML, but it's a bit old and not as, errr... "easy".

I got the JKI easyxml but I have a question. How do i convert the xsd file to Labview Data Type variant? is there an easy way? i am thinking that i will have to create a cluster that matches the xsd file and then the parser will be able to read the xml file and output the data in the same format. 

I am very very new to XML so any help will be appreciated. 

Thanks

Hi Shoaib,

I replied to your post on the JKI Software forums.  Please post your XML file, there, and we'll try to help you out.

I am attaching the xsd file here since I am not sure if by attaching the actual 3MB XML file i will be giving away any info that im not supposed to.Please rename the attachement to fmd.xsd

All i'm looking for is to somehow get the data defined by the following

  <xs:complexType name="T_sample">

  <xs:attribute name="num" type="xs:int" use="required" />

  <xs:attribute name="value" type="xs:int" use="required" />

  <xs:attribute name="value_mv" type="xs:float" use="required" />

  </xs:complexType>

Jim, 

heres the file i tried to de-identify it as much as possible. I am interested in the raw data in the xml file. The incoming xml files may have data for multiple episodes like in this example xml.

any help will be appreciated. 

Thanks
