function
Summary
Returns the text contained in the specified node in an XML tree.
Syntax
revXMLNodeContents(<treeID>, <node>)
Description
Use the revXMLNodeContents function to get the text contents of a node.
If the revXMLNodeContents function encounters an error, it returns an error message starting with "xmlerr".
The revXMLNodeContents function returns the text content of a node. This is defined as the first piece of text not contained within a child node. For example:
<root>Text<child>Child Text</child>Text 2</root>
In the preceeding XML document, revXMLNodeContents will return the string "Text" when called with "root" as the node.
The revXMLNodeContents function is part of the XML library. To ensure that the function works in a standalone application, you must include this custom library when you create your standalone. In the Inclusions pane of the Standalone Application Settings window, make sure the "XML" checkbox is checked.
