Hi Chuck,
Users on this list tipped me off to some way cool ways of accessing XML
files.
Use this as a general reference only--- I am typing this away from my
scripting machine and don't have a way to test as I write.
Say the xml file is "test.xml" on your desktop. It contains an xml tree
where "Book" is the first level, and "Chapter" is the 2nd.
-- =====
--Getting the values (parsing):
set xmlFile to POSIX path of ((path to desktop as string) & "test.xml")
set myRecordList to (call method "dictionaryWithContentsOfFile:" of class
"NSDictionary" with parameter xmlFile ) as record
set theFirstLevel to |Book| of myRecordList
set theSecondLevel to call method "allValues" of theFirstLevel
--Setting values:
Set |name| of item 1 of theFirstLevel to "Da Vinci Code"
--Writing the file back:
set didWrite to call method "writeToFile:atomically:" of myRecordList with
parameters { xmlFile , "YES"}
-- =====
You'll have to do some testing, and search the documentation and lists for
more examples, but if you use these methods it makes things SUPER easy!
Hope this helps,
Graham Jones.
