XML Addon Questions

[Joachim Sühlo]

See the following XML-Code:

  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<database>
  <product id="ABC-DEF-GHI-123-456-781">
    <product_infos><![CDATA[FRA-010593|FRA-010593-A-stop|0|0.0|36|0|0|0|032.5|147.5|]]></product_infos>

1. Is it possible, to move to product target nodes directly, by using the ID in the request?
2. How do I extract the CDATA section?
3. Would it be more easy to change the XML file?

Hi Joachim,

Here is a post about reading xml files: https://gdl.graphisoft.com/tips-and-tricks/how-to-use-the-gdl-xml-add-on/ In this sample you can check moving to a node with a name – so I think that you can jump to a product node, and check the ID in different steps. There is an example for getting the info from CDATA too.
