Syntax:
@XMLDOC(VALUE, <id>, <path>)
@XMLDOC(VALUES, <id>, <path>, <name1>, <name2>, …
@XMLDOC(SEEK, <id>, <path> {, FIRST|LAST|<number>})
@XMLDOC(CHANGED, <id>)
@XMLDOC(COUNT, <id>, <path>)
@XMLDOC(FIRST, <id>)
@XMLDOC(LAST, <id>)
@XMLDOC(NEXT, <id>)
@XMLDOC(PREVIOUS, <id>)
@XMLDOC(ISFIRST, <id>)
@XMLDOC(ISLAST, <id>)
Description:
This function is used when working with XML documents. The options are:
@XMLDOC(VALUE,... |
Returns the value stored at <path>. OK is false if <path> does not exist. |
@XMLDOC(VALUES,... |
Returns a string containing the specified values and attributes stored at <path>, delimited using the current fieldsep character. Attribute names must be prefixed by “@” (in quotes to prevent VDS treating it as a function.) OK is false if path does not exist. |
@XMLDOC(SEEK,... |
Sets the current node to <path>. Where many nodes match <path> (for example, a database containing many records) the current node will be the first matching node. The parameters FIRST, LAST and <number> may be used to set the current node to the first, last or any intermediate node that matches <path>. OK is false if <path> does not exist. |
@XMLDOC(CHANGED,... |
Returns ‘1’ (true) or null (false) indicating whether the document contents have changed since it was loaded. |
@XMLDOC(COUNT,... |
Returns the number of nodes that match <path>. If <path> is null, then the function returns the number of nodes of the same type as the current node. |
These functions are typically used to browse the records in an XML database. |
|
@XMLDOC(FIRST,... |
Operates on the current node. Changes the selection to the first node of this type. OK is false if the current node is the first one. |
@XMLDOC(LAST,... |
Operates on the current node. Changes the selection to the last node of this type. OK is false if the current node is the last one. |
@XMLDOC(NEXT,... |
Operates on the current node. Changes the selection to the next node of this type. OK is false if the current node is the last one. |
@XMLDOC(PREVIOUS,... |
Operates on the current node. Changes the selection to the previous node of this type. OK is false if the current node is the first one. |
@XMLDOC(ISFIRST,... |
Operates on the current node. Returns true if the current node is the first of its type. |
@XMLDOC(ISLAST,... |
Operates on the current node. Returns true if the current node is the last of its type. |
