'revXMLNumberOfChildren' receiving xmlerr can't find element

Post by Bevan » Thu Apr 05, 2018 3:30 pm

Having trouble with the revXMLNumberOfChildren function.

All the code to retrieve the XML data is fine I just can't get the number of children.

Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong. Thanks.

I have removed the put url into tXMLData1 and displayed the XML results below.

Code: Select all

on createTree
   
      put revCreateXMLTree(tXMLData1, true, true, true) into sXMLID1
   put  revXMLNumberOfChildren(sXMLID1, ”PlaceSearchResponse”, "result", -1) into theNumberOfChildren
   
end createTree

on populateFields
     put field "contactnumber" into tNumber
     put revXMLNodeContents(sXMLID1, "PlaceSearchResponse/result[" & tNumber & "]/place_id") into tId

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<PlaceSearchResponse>
 <status>OK</status>
 <result>
  <name>Sephardim</name>
  <type>bar</type>
  <type>restaurant</type>
  <type>food</type>
