XML extension: how to make it work?

[Sam Karli]

Hi,
I'm experiencing with the xml extension, but even cannot start it.

What's the problem with the following code (being in the Parameter script)?

channelTest = OPEN ("XML", "Teszt", "wl")

OUTPUT (channelTest, "CreateDocument", "", "Teszt")

CLOSE channelTest

Read this first, maybe it helps:

Thanks for Your help, not too much. 😞

It describes reading a (prepared) read-only doc. My problem is with creating a new xml by the OUTPUT command.

Such a poor documentation.

I haven't try, but I think the Script should be in the Master and OUTPUT has to be without brakes, like

OUTPUT channel, "CreateDocument", 0 , 	"Par_Set"

Indeed.

This works:

ChannelTest = OPEN("XML", varFileNameWithFullPath , "wf")

OUTPUT ChannelTest, "CreateDocument", var1, "Teszt"
input (ChannelTest, "NewPositionDesc", "", varDesc)

OUTPUT ChannelTest, "NewElement AsFirstChild", varDesc, "Coord"
input (ChannelTest, "MoveToNode ToFirstChild", varDesc, var0, var1, var2)
OUTPUT ChannelTest, "NewText AsFirstChild", varDesc, GLOB_INTGUID

OUTPUT ChannelTest, "NewElement AsFirstChild", varDesc, "X"
input (ChannelTest, "MoveToNode ToFirstChild", varDesc, var0, var1, var2)
OUTPUT ChannelTest, "NewText AsFirstChild", varDesc, str (SYMB_POS_X, 8, 3)

OUTPUT ChannelTest, "NewElement AsNextSibling", varDesc, "Y" 
input (ChannelTest, "MoveToNode FromNextSibling", varDesc, var0, var1, var2)
OUTPUT ChannelTest, "NewText AsFirstChild", varDesc, str (SYMB_POS_Y, 8, 3)

CLOSE ChannelTest

But in the GDL Reference guide OUTPUT stands with brackets, I've checked.
Many thanks.
