pc:ReadXmlFiles

Attempts to parse the contents of a specified set of files as XML. If successful, returns that XML content as a node set.

If not successful, an error is returned. See the "Errors" section.

Syntax

<pc:ReadXmlFiles filepath="file-path">
     <file filepath="file-path"/>
     <file .../>
     ...
</pc:ReadXmlFiles>

In each of the file child elements, the required filepath points to the file to be read. If filepath is a relative filepath, the path is relative to the current working directory.

In the pc:ReadXmlFiles parent element, filepath is optional. In this position, filepath must point to a directory rather than to a file, and the filepath values in the child nodes must be relative paths. The latter are interpreted relative to the directory that filepath in the parent element points to.

The name file used for the child elements could be any valid XML element name. This type of element is only a pretext for getting a filepath attribute where you can specify one of the files to be read.

Example

<pc:ReadXmlFiles filepath="c:\definerData">

     <file filepath="definerData1.xml"
          assign:doc1_tables="documentRoot/t_table/*"
          assign:doc1_constraints="documentRoot/t_constraints/*" />
     <file filepath="definerData5.xml" assign:myVariable="."/>

</pc:ReadXmlFiles>

Errors

If one of the files does not contain valid XML, an <Error> element is returned such as the following:

<Error>The '<this>' start tag on line 2 position 4 does not match the end tag of 'that'.</Error>
