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.

Client

xmlnode xmlCreateFile ( string filePath, string rootNodeName [, string accessType = "public" ] )

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.

Optional Arguments

• accessType : This setting determines whether to create a public or private version of the file at filePath.
  • "public" will create a file that is shared by all servers.
  • "private" will create a file that only the current server is allowed to access.

Returns

Returns the root xmlnode object of the new XML file if successful, or false otherwise.

Client

This example allows a player to use the command 'createfile' to create an .xml file.

-- Creates a file named "new.xml" with root node "newroot" and childnode "newchild".
function createFileHandler()
local RootNode = xmlCreateFile("new.xml"," newroot")
local NewNode = xmlCreateChild(RootNode, "newchild")
xmlSaveFile(RootNode)
end

addCommandHandler("createfile", createFileHandler)
