Re: XML-INTO sample

I have seen samples like that, but does this counter tell how many of the count of that element are in the document, or how many were parsed? That is, if I have a 10 element array, and the counter says 10, does that mean that I got all the elements, and it just happened to fill up the array, or does it mean that there are 10 or more elements in the document, and I got as many as I can handle.

Have a  look at this thread & see if you can use the subfield as a
counter.

I am working on a proof of concept for processing an unknown number of XML
documents that include some header info and an unknown number of details.
I have looked through Scott's article at
http://systeminetwork.com/article/real-world-example-xml, and it looks
like XML-INTO will fit the bill, but I have not seen a good way to handle
an unknown number of detail formats.  Would I do that with an array
embedded within the data structure at the right depth?  If that is the
case, I will need to set a maximum expected number of details.  How do I
know if I have overflowed that array?
