copied!<p>If you just want to write XML (and not create revXMLTrees) you can write your own functions. How about this for a starter:</p> <pre><code>local _tags local _xml local _level local _tabs function q pText return quote & pText & quote end q on startXML put "<?xml version=" & q("1.0") & "?>" & return into _xml put 0 into _level put empty into _tabs put empty into _tags end startXML on startTag pTag put _tabs & "<" & pTag & ">" & return after _xml add 1 to _level put pTag into _tags[_level] put tab after _tabs end startTag on closeTag delete char 1 of _tabs put _tabs & "</" & _tags[_level] & ">" & return after _xml # Do a 'delete variable _tags[_level]' if you really want to clean the array as you go subtract 1 from _level end closeTag on addAttribute pAttribute, pValue # This should go into the last tag, but as we have "proper XML" so far we can backtrace two chars (">" and newline) put space & pAttribute & "=" & q(pValue) before char -2 of _xml end addAttribute on writeContent pContent put _tabs & pContent & return after _xml end writeContent on writeNode pNode, pValue put _tabs & "<" & pNode & ">" & pValue & "</" & pNode & ">" & return after _xml end writeNode getProp xml return _xml end xml </code></pre> <p>Put that script on the card or stack then you can do:</p> <pre><code>startXML startTag "employeetable" startTag "employee" addAttribute "IDNum", 1 startTag "firstName" writeContent "Steve" closeTag writeNode "lastName", "Jobs" writeNode "roomnum", "001" writeNode "phoneExt", "345" writeNode "parkingSlot", "100" closeTag closeTag put the xml of this card into field 1 </code></pre> <p>This is of course not a complete solution as it will not do any validation of your input, and the format might not be exactly what you want, but I guess it can get you started.</p>
