xml bad argument

[Dice]

  
filesxml = xmlLoadFile ( "files.xml" ) 
if filesxml then 
    aChild= xmlFindChild ( filesxml, "sav", 0 ) 
else 
    aChild = xmlCreateFile ( "files.xml", "sav" ) 
    xmlSaveFile ( aChild ) 
end 
  
function removething( gridlist, name, row, col ) 
    guiGridListRemoveRow ( gridlist, row ) 
    delete = xmlFindChild ( aChild, "filename", 0 ) -- bad argument here @ xmFindChild  
    outputChatBox ( name .. " removed!" ) 
end 

in function removething. btw 'filename' gets created from another function it exists. The problem is aChild why does it keep doing bad argument here @ xmFindChild at line 12. I know it exists!!

Can you show the full xml code please?, because there is nothing seems to be wrong here.

That's it really. 'filename' is already in the file.

Post your .xml file, if it's client side you can find it here:

i know. this is clientsided btw.

addEventHandler ( "onClientResourceStart", resourceRoot, 
function() 
filesxml = xmlLoadFile ( "files.xml" ) 
if filesxml then 
    aChild= xmlFindChild ( filesxml, "sav", 0 ) 
else 
    aChild = xmlCreateFile ( "files.xml", "sav" ) 
    xmlSaveFile ( aChild ) 
end 
end) 
  
function removething( gridlist, name, row, col ) 
    guiGridListRemoveRow ( gridlist, row ) 
local filesxml = xmlLoadFile ( "files.xml" ) 
local aChild= xmlFindChild ( filesxml, "sav", 0 ) 
local delete = xmlFindChild ( aChild, "filename", 0 ) 
    outputChatBox ( name .. " removed!" ) 
end 

I think this will work, I didn't tested it since I needed to go, because you used when the "save" didn't excisted a new file, after that it doesn't matter if you are reading it on the client side twice since the server isn't reading it, so the server won't lag. I'm btw sleepy, sorry for my faults.

Doesn't work! Everytime i use these functions it's the same problem

[denny199]

function removething( gridlist, name, row, col ) 
    guiGridListRemoveRow ( gridlist, row ) 
local xmlFile = xmlLoadFile ( "files.xml" )  
if xmlFile then 
    local node = xmlFindChild( xmlFile, "filename", 0 )  
    local success = xmlNodeGetValue ( node )  
    if success then 
        outputChatBox ( tostring ( success ) )  
    end 
end 
end 

I relooked at the wiki and then i saw the function xmlNodeGetValue.
