How to read XML Element from XML File

[ramandeep1980]

Hi Everyone,

I am able to read XML attributes from XML file but not able to read XML elements.

In below example,I am able to read comment , entered,center etc by giving xPath till Event tag and giving description of fields as @comment, @entered and @center etc but not able to read aReason by giving xPath till Reasons tag and using @aReason as a field decription, the reason i understand is that comment, entered etc are atrribute of XML where as aReason are XML elements.

 <Event comment="Coll" entered="Se" Center="ET" appro="1" age="3"
                <Reasons>
                    <aReason>Missing</aReason>
                   <aReason>Missing1</aReason>
                   <aReason>Missing2/aReason>
                </Reasons>
</Event>

Can you please tell me wat xPath and wat field description i need to use to read aReason , XML elements.

Regards,

Raman

Without getting deeper, I would say your problem is that you have no well-formed xml; a tag "<aReason>" must be closed with "</aReason> and not with "</approvedReason>". Changed that and you will be able to read the elements with xpath:

/Event/Reasons/aReason

Done that too Thomas. That was a wrioting error.

Still I am not able to read XML elements  though XML attributes can be read easily.

Can anyone reply to this.
