SppXPathGetElementChildlist

SppXPathGetElementChildlist

Returns a pipebar (|) delimited string of child element names found in a XML object for a given element path.

Syntax

SppXPathGetElementChildlist([XML],[Element Path],[Show Duplicates],[Only Show Children that have Children])

Where:

XML is an XML object such as that returned value from SppXMLFromString or SppXMLLoad, or XML as a text string.

Element Path is a full path to the element inside the XML object (for example Quote\Customer). If the element is part of an Array with the same name, the path would need to use an instance number (for example Quote\Customer[6] to return the value for the sixth item. Element Path is case sensitive.

Show Duplicates is TRUE to show duplicate children (will add an index to the name), FALSE to only show one instance of each same name child.

Only Show Children that have Children is TRUE to only show children that have children, FALSE to show all children.
