Re: XML file problem

Hi list,

I have an XML file with the following structure:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>

<myxml>

<child>

<data1><![CDATA[xxxx]]</data1>

<data2>yyyy</data2>

<data3>zzzz</data3>

</child>

</myxml>

Given that the XML file is generated online: can I just use the following line to store the complete contents of the XML file in a variable and somehow still access the "xxxx", "yyyy" and "zzzz" strings?

set theXML to do shell script "curl --silent 'http://myserver.com/generatexml.php" (output of the URL is an XML file)

If so, how can I store the 3 string values into an array (or 3 seperate values - it doesn't matter actually)?

If not, what's the best way to access these strings then?

I've tried via "System Events", but that didn't work:

set valueY to value of XML element "data2" of XML elements of XML element "child" of XML element "myxml" of XML element 1 of contents of theXML (gives a very strange "Can't make \"myxml\" into type integer" error)

Any help would be appreciated.

Regards,

Jasper.
