Re: XML-INTO (just need a quick answer)...

[Henrik RÃtzou <hr@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Or maybe there is, because what you sees as fieldnames xmlGetNode is
actually a
low level subprocedure that returns a value from global fields in the
xmlReader:

here is what can be returned about the current XML element that has been
read:

XML Reader, JSON/CSV to XML converters
--------------------------------------
 xmlFromStmf()              Reads a text based file into a special buffer
 -xmlAddr()                 Returns the %addr of the special buffer
 -xmlSize()                 Returns the %size of the special buffer
 xmlToStmf()                Sends output buffer (store 0) to a stmf

 xmlReaderInz()             Initialize the xmlReader
 xmlReaderCase()            Sets the reader to return nodes in
upper/lower/mixed case
 xmlReader()                Reads next XML element or attribute
 -xmlGetNodeType()          Returns Nodetype on current element
 -xmlGetDepth()             Returns Three Depth of current element
 -xmlGetNode()              Returns Node Name of current element
 -xmlGetXPath()             Returns XPath or part of XPath of current
element
 -xmlGetXPathJson()         Returns XPath or part of XPath in JSON converted
file
 -xmlGetAttr()              Returns Current Attribute Name if the reader is
in attribute section
 -xmlGetData()              Returns Data Part of current element
 -xmlGetDataNum()           Returns Numeric Part of current element
 -xmlAddrOuter()            Returns the outer %addr of current element
 -xmlSizeOuter()            Returns the %size of current element
 -xmlAddrInner()            Returns the inner %addr of current element
 -xmlSizeInner()            Returns the inner %size of current element
