update XML file?

[reiniertc]

Does anybody know if there's a script or possibility in HS2 to update a XML-file?
I would like to add some XML-code in to an existing XML file when a script is run.

XML updating I find generally speaking to be a painful excercise. There are a few scripts I and others have posted on this board over years, also search for RSS as RSS and XML scripts may be interchangeable or easily modified to upload.

You need to learn or get an idea about XPath, there are a whole host of options available to you to update nodes/attributes in the System.XML namespace.

Great, thanks for pointing me in that direction. Time for me to explore Xpath and search for your posts, mrhappy :-)

Agreed, it was one of the most painful things I put together. I have created an XML parser, so I can scrape some weather information. It's not writing OUT, but might be helpful if you need it, I can try to post it.

I only wrote it, because I wanted to gather the SAME weather information that my HSTouch was using, so I took the "script" commands that HST uses, and now parse that information into virtual devices. Now all my systems match.

Once you understand XPath it's easy enough if you find an XSLWriter. I do a lot of XPath and XSL stuff. May be easier to read XML and transform to new SML with updated/new values using XSL
