Checking for RootElement in XML-files

Hi There,

I'm designing an interface between 2 applications based on the exchange of XML-files.
The idea is that the XML-files are saved in a directoryand i have to process the files from this directory. The XML-files can store different data. F.i.: one stores Items and the other stores Customers.
When importing the XML-files i want to check the rootelements in the XMLf-files so that i can trigger the right XML-port.
Example:
XML-file #1 has root element <Items></Items>
XML-file #2 has root element <Customers></Customers>.
I have a codeunit that checks to specified directory for *.xml-files. When i process the directory it has to run XML-port 50.000 when it finds the XML-files with root <Items> and XML-port 50.001 when it finds the XML-file with root <Customer>.
Does anyone have a hint as how to do this?

Thnkx.

Hans

    Hi BlackBird,

    You can use XMLDOM.
    xlDoc = Automation 'Microsoft XML, v3.0'.DOMDocument

    CASE xmlDoc.documentEmelent.nodeName OF
    'Items': bla bla bla.
    'Customers': Bla bla bla
    END;

    Hello Hans,

    This worked for me, let me know if this is what you mean..
    Globals
XmlDom Automation 'Microsoft XML, v5.0'.DOMDocument
CurrNode Automation 'Microsoft XML, v5.0'.IXMLDOMNode

    IF ISCLEAR(tXmlDoc) THEN
  CREATE(XmlDoc);

XmlDoc.load('c:\data.xml');

CurrNode := XmlDoc.selectSingleNode('//item');
IF NOT ISCLEAR(CurrNode) THEN BEGIN
  << start xmlport item>>
END;

CurrNode := XmlDoc.selectSingleNode('//customer');
IF NOT ISCLEAR(CurrNode) THEN BEGIN
  << start xmlport customer>>
END;
    Met vriendelijke groet, best regards,

    Rvduuren
