Introduction
With the procedure table load(), B4P loads complete XML files. The XML file will be put into a structured table. The table will contain following header names:
| XML Level | Nesting level. Begins with 1 |
| XML Tag | Applied tag. E.g. <Country>; puts "Country" into a new row at column "XML Tag". |
| XML Usage | <Country> specifies "Start", </Country> specifies "End", and <Country/> specifies "Empty". |
| XML Contents | Payload contents following the tag. E.g. <Country>UK<Country/> specifies "UK". Note: All ine breaks are included in the contents. |
| XML Attributes | Lists all attribute names (but not the values) referenced in the XML tag |
| Additional columns: Atribute names | The table gets additional columns with header names corresponding to the identified attribute names. Whenever attributes are specified in the tags, then the attribute values are listed below these headers. |
table load( t, "Examples\Example.xml", TEXT );
echo("This is the XML file:");
table list( t );
table load( t, "Examples\Example.xml", XML );
echo; echo;
echo("This are the loaded contents from the XML file:");
