xml

Hi. I'm making a radio system with ability to add your own radio stations. It will be xml based. So i've made scipt to createfile.

But how can I get the table of station 1 and 2 at the same time.

function createFileHandler() 
local xmlFile = xmlCreateFile("stations.xml","stations") 
local stationInfo = xmlCreateChild(xmlFile, "station") 
xmlNodeSetAttribute(stationInfo, "name", "Welcome to our serve") 
xmlNodeSetAttribute(stationInfo, "url", "Is the color") 
local stationInfo1 = xmlCreateChild(xmlFile, "station") 
xmlNodeSetAttribute(stationInfo1, "name", "Welcome to our serve") 
xmlNodeSetAttribute(stationInfo1, "url", "Is the color") 
xmlSaveFile(xmlFile) 
end 
addCommandHandler("createfile", createFileHandler) 
  
function createFileHandle1r() 
local meta = xmlLoadFile ( "stations.xml" ) 
local info = xmlFindChild ( meta, "station", 0 ) 
if info then 
    local attrs = xmlNodeGetAttributes ( info ) 
    for name,value in pairs ( attrs ) do 
        outputChatBox( value ) 
    end 
end 
xmlUnloadFile ( meta ) 
end 
addCommandHandler("ce", createFileHandle1r) 

And xml.

    "Welcome to our serve" url="Is the color">
    "Welcome to our serve" url="Is the color">

local meta = xmlLoadFile("stations.xml") 
stationsTable = xmlNodeGetChildren(meta)

local stations =  xmlNodeGetChildren ( meta ) --get all node children 
local station1, station2 = unpack ( stations ) -- then unpack table  
local attrs = xmlNodeGetAttributes ( station1 ) 
local attrs2 = xmlNodeGetAttributes ( station2 ) 
    for name,value in pairs ( attrs ) do 
        outputChatBox( value ) 
    end 
    for name,value in pairs ( attrs2 ) do 
        outputChatBox( value ) 
    end 
  
-- u can also do 
local stations =  xmlGetNodeChildren ( meta ) 
for i, station in ipairs ( stations ) do 
   local url =  xmlNodeGetAttribute ( station,  "url") 
   local name =  xmlNodeGetAttribute ( station,  "name") 
outputChatBox ( tostring ( i ) .. ' : url = ' .. tostring ( url ) .. ' name = ' .. tostring ( name ) ) 
end

same error for both

I failed to understand what exactly you are trying to achieve. If you are willing to show the attributes of every node:

local meta = xmlLoadFile("stations.xml") 
stationsTable = xmlNodeGetChildren(meta) 
  
for index,node in ipairs(stationsTable) do 
    for key, attribute in pairs(xmlNodeGetAttributes(node)) do 
        outputChatBox(key.." = "..attribute) 
    end 
end

Yeah. Works. Thanks

function createFileHandler() 
    if not  xmlLoadFile("stations.xml") then  
    local xmlFile = xmlCreateFile("stations.xml","stations") 
    local stationInfo = xmlCreateChild(xmlFile, "station") 
    xmlNodeSetAttribute(stationInfo, "name", "Power 181") 
    xmlNodeSetAttribute(stationInfo, "url", "http://www.181.fm/asx.php?station=181-uktop40&style=&a..scription=") 
    local stationInfo1 = xmlCreateChild(xmlFile, "station") 
    xmlNodeSetAttribute(stationInfo1, "name", "NonStopPlay.com") 
    xmlNodeSetAttribute(stationInfo1, "url", "http://www.nonstopplay.com/broadband.asx") 
    xmlSaveFile(xmlFile) 
    end 
end 

trigger with

createFileHandler() 

why doesn't work ?

Maybe handle it by command, event, key or use it in handled function?
