Parse XML (PowerBuilder)

[Former Member]

Hello,

I am using PB 12.5. I have a need to parse a xml feed returned from a webservice. Right now this feed is quite simple and I am using Pos and Mid functions to parse it.

This feed is about to get more complex. Does anyone have techniques/tips to parsing complex xml?

Thank you.

You may use Powerbuilders XML Parser.

But I prefer the MSXML DOMDocument ActiveX. It has more functionality.

Hi Roland;

I use PB's PBDOM feature to do this.

Depending on how complex it is, you might be able to import the XML into a DataWindow.

Thanks All. I ended up using MSXML as suggested by René.

Chris - Can you post a PBDOM sample?

I stored XML Content in Database MS SQL ( column data type is XML ) and used SQL to parse data.

In my case, it worked well..
