as you can see from the pictures, i'm trying to parse an xml file and put its tree structure in a tree indicator. first question: how can i get rid of these #text elements and get instead the actual value of the nodes in the xml files, and show them possibly on the right column respect to the corresponding element in the tree indicator second question, not related with the first. can i select some element in the tree indicator from front panel and copy them in a xml file? which functions should i use? thank you create_tree_t.vi getchildren_t.vi

No, that's the problem, in other words I cannot use the unflatten function. Clusters may contains one or more arrays of different sizes, scalars of different types... Elements of the cluster are supposed to be its children, aren't they? Is it possible to access each of them from the children list of the cluster, see which is their type and implement different data extractor for 1D array, 2D array and scalars? Then write these data in a csv file should be the easier part. I think it's gonna be a mess, but there should be some way,no? I'm forwarding my vi draft with many comments and a couple of xml file samples. Thank you very much data structure.doc XMLData_example1.xml XMLData_example2.xml read_array.vi

Hallo, I'm an Italian Engineering student, working with LabVIEW for thesis work I'm facing big problems in the use of XML files. I have an application which generates XML files with clusters containing arrays and scalars according like in the example pasted below. My task is to read it and export the data in a human-friendly CSV document. Since I don't know the actual content of the cluster, I need some kind of intelligent vi which goes through the XML file looking for arrays and other data structures in order to export them properly in the CSV format (columns with headers). Thank you <Cluster> <Name></Name> <NumElts>3</NumElts> <Array> <Name></Name> <Dimsize>6</Dimsize> <I32> <Name></Name> <Val>0</Val> </I32> <I32> <Name></Name> <Val>1</Val> </I32> <I32> <Name></Name> <Val>2</Val> </I32> <I32> <Name></Name> <Val>3</Val> </I32> <I32> <Name></Name> <Val>4</Val> </I32> <I32> <Name></Name> <Val>5</Val> </I32> </Array> <DBL> <Name></Name> <Val>3.14159265358979</Val> </DBL> <String> <Name></Name> <Val>ciao</Val> </String> </Cluster>
