XMLNodeFromPath()

语法

Result = XMLNodeFromPath(ParentNode, Path$)
概要
Returns the XML node inside ParentNode who's relation to ParentNode is described through 'Path$'. XMLNodePath() can be used to get such a path to a node.

参数

ParentNode The parent XML node.
Path$ Contains a list of node names separated by '/' to indicate the way to follow from the parent to the target node. For example "childtag/subchildtag" specifies the first node with name "subchildtag" inside the first node with name "childtag" inside ParentNode.

A node name can have an index (one based) to specify which of multiple child tags of the same name should be selected. "childtag/subchildtag[3]" specifies the 3rd "subchildtag" inside the first "childtag" of ParentNode.

Other rules:
- If a path starts with '/' it is relative to the tree's root. No matter which node ParentNode specifies.
- A Wildcard "*" can be used instead of a tag name to specify that any tag is to be selected.
- A Comment node has the tagname "#comment"
- A CData node has the tagname "#cdata"
- A DTD node has the tagname "#dtd"
- A Processing Instruction node has the tagname "#instruction"

Some examples of valid paths:
  "/mainnode/#comment[4]" - the 4th comment inside the "mainnode" node inside the root of the tree
  "*[10]"                 - the 10th node (of any type) inside ParentNode
  "*/*/*"                 - the 1st node 3 levels below ParentNode independent of its type
  "node[3]/*[3]/#cdata"   - the first CData section inside the 3rd node of any kind inside the 3rd "node" node inside ParentNode
Note: This command is no implementation of the XPath specification. The syntax used and understood by this command is only a small subset of XPath. This means a path returned from XMLNodePath() is a valid XPath query, but this command only understands the syntax described here, not just any XPath query.

返回值

The target node or zero if the path did not lead to a valid node.
