[InD. CS5 Server][JS] XML-Import, how to receive data?

$
0
0

Hello everybody!

 

I tried to import an simple XML with the ExtendScript Toolkit on InDesign CS5 Server with the following script:

 

var myXmlFile = new File("../path/blubb.xml");
var myContent;

myXmlFile.open("r", undefined, undefined);

while(!myXmlFile.eof)

{

     myContent = myXmlFile.read();

     var xml_value = myContent.childNodes[0].getElementsByTagName('ROOT').nodeValue;

     //var xml_value = myContent.getElementsByTagName('ROOT').item(0).firstChild.nodeValue;

 

     alert(xml_value);
}

 

the XML-FIle is this:

 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ROOT>
     <TEST>blubb</TEST>
     <TEST2>bla</TEST2>
</ROOT>

 

If i alert myContent, there is the whole XML in the terminal output in one line. And the console of the ExtendScript Toolkit says "Execution finished. Ergebnis: undefined". (why is the result: unfinished?)

Now i tried to get some nodeValues in different ways (from different tutorials) but sometimes theres an error "myContent.getElementsByTagName is not a function". So i tried different ways, without this functions but if i tried to access the nodes like this:

 

var xml_value = myContent.item[0];

 

or some other compositions with "firstChild", "item[x]" and "nodeValue", there is the error message "undefined is not an object".

 

 

Could anyone please give me a hint, how to read the xml-data in a loop? I need to parse some XML-FIles from InDesign-CS2-Documents and create new InDesign-CS5-Documents, but stucked already at the first step...

 

Thanks for your reponses!

 

Greetings

Sybriz
