How to retrieve attributes from an XML

andreazaffaroni · ‎01-08-2019

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" ?>
<test>
<one>
<two prova="ANNA">A</two>
<three>B</three>
</one>
<one>
<two prova="OSSO">C</two>
<three>D</three>
</one>
</test>

Hi community,

I need to retrieve the attributes from both nodes two: "ANNA" and "OSSO", how can I do this?

I am using XMLDocument2

Thanks you

Andrea

No direct method like XMLDocument to fetch attributes. You can use this one which retrieves by index

var xmlString = "<test><one><two prova='ANNA'>A</two><three>B</three></one><one><two prova='OSSO'>C</two><three>D</three></one></test>";
var xmlDoc = new XMLDocument2(xmlString);
xmlDoc.parseXML( xmlString ); 

var node = xmlDoc.getNode("//test");
var childNodes = node.getChildNodeIterator();
while(childNodes.hasNext()){
     var i = childNodes.next().toString();
     var index = i.indexOf("prova");
     if(index  > -1){
       var end = i.indexOf("\">", index);
       gs.print(i.substring(index+7, end));
     }
}
