This function is made to be able to read values in XML files. (for example <something>anything</something>)

Syntax

string xmlNodeGetValue ( xmlnode xmlnode )             

Required Arguments

  • xmlnode: The node of which you need to know the value.

Optional Arguments

NOTE: When using optional arguments, you might need to supply all arguments before the one you wish to use. For more information on optional arguments, see optional arguments.

  • none:

Returns

Returns the value of the node if successful, false otherwise.

Example

In this example is shown what xmlNodeSetValue does and how it works:

local xmlFile=xmlLoadFile("xmlfile.xml") --Open a file already created
if xmlFile then --If it's indeed opened:
        local node=xmlCreateSubNode(xmlFile,"somesubnode") --Create a new subnode
        local success=xmlNodeSetValue(node,"somevalue") --Set the value of it
                if success then --Check if it was successful
                        xmlSaveFile(xmlFile) --Save the file
                end --End what still needs to be ended
        end
end

The xml file wil look like:

<somenode>
        <somesubnode>somevalue</somesubnode>
</somenode>
