revXMLText
Type
function
Summary
Returns the contents of an XML tree as XML text.
Syntax
revXMLText(<treeID> [, <startNode>] [, <formatted>])
Description
Use the revXMLText function to turn an XML tree back into an XML document.
If the revXMLText function encounters an error, it returns an error message starting with "xmlerr".
The revXMLText 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 |
|---|---|---|
treeID | The the number returned by the revXMLCreateTree or revXMLCreateTreeFromFile function when you created the XML tree. | |
startNode | The path to the node where you want to start. If you don't specify a startNode, the revXMLText function starts at the root node and returns the entire XML tree. | |
formatted | Whether or not to produce xml with indenting and line breaks, i.e. "pretty-printed". If you don't specify a formatted value, the default is not to format the text, this will result in the xml being output as a single block with no line breaks. |
Examples
