Syntax

Server
xmlnode xmlCreateFile ( string filePath, string rootNodeName )

Required Arguments

  • filePath: The filepath of the file in the following format: ":resourceName/path". 'resourceName' is the name of the resource the file will be in, and 'path' is the path from the root directory of the resource to the file.
For example, if you want to create a file named 'new.xml' in the resource 'ctf', it can be created from another resource this way: xmlCreateFile(":ctf/new.xml", "newroot").
If the file is in the current resource, only the file path is necessary, e.g. xmlCreateFile("new.xml", "newroot").
Note that if a different resource than default is being accessed, the caller resource needs access to general.ModifyOtherObjects in the ACL.
  • rootNodeName: the name of the root node in the XML document.

local NewNode = xmlCreateChild(RootNode, "newchild")
xmlSaveFile(RootNode)
end
