parsing XML
has anyone a link to a white paper that has a complete segment of code that shows how to parse xml? Dumb Rev books and online docs have no examples. I went to search online docs and put in "parse xml" and go NO hits. Are these people just stupid? Parsing XML is a critical need in development and they have NO examples (that I can find) on how to do it. Sure they explain each function one at a time, but have nothing in context.
you can send me a link or code, whatever you might have directly to incomex@hotmail.com.
thanks.
we really need to start complaining about the lack of quality with respect to bugs and documentation, it really is inexcusable.

I just went through the same frustration a couple days ago.

Got no help from the forum, but after taking apart Rev's RSS tutorial demo stake, and finding a great old Ken Ray comment on XML parsing in the mailing list, I was on my way and parsing.
Oh and Ken also has his own XML library that I haven't tried, but a lot of users on the list seem to use instead of revXML too.

Oh yeah forgot to mention Sarah's great tut, but doesn't go into parsing much.

It might be very useful.
But now it is gone.
