revXMLNextSibling
Type
function
Summary
Returns the path to a child node's next sibling node.
Syntax
revXMLNextSibling(<treeID>, <siblingNode>, [incText] )
Description
Use the revXMLNextSibling function to go forward through the list of nodes on the current level.
If the revXMLNextSibling function encounters an error, it returns an error message starting with "xmlerr".
If the incText form is specified and is true the function will return text nodes in processing. Text nodes can be accessed using the revXMLNodeContents function with the extended path format where text only nodes are numerically indexed eg summary/command/[1] is the first text node of the summary/command node.
The incText form is experimental.
The revXMLNextSibling function is part of the XML library. To ensure that the function works in a standalone application, you must include this custom library when you create your standalone. In the Inclusions pane of the Standalone Application Settings window, make sure the "XML" checkbox is checked.
Parameters
| Name | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
