XML Loading

[Chronic]

Hey guys, I'm really not getting this I'm wondering if anyone can explain this to me.

Outputs true, so the file exists:

outputChatBox ( tostring ( fileExists ( "files/settings.xml" ) ) ) 

However, this outputs false, and I don't understand why.

local xml = xmlLoadFile ( "files/settings.xml" ) 
outputChatBox ( tostring ( xml ) ) 

The xml file looks like this:

<settings rAccount="true" username="dkjslkd" password="ddsldklsd"></settings>

In first place, your XML should look like this, because in every XML there NEEDS to be a parent node.

<settings> 
<setting rAccount="true" username="dkjslkd" password="ddsldklsd" /> 
</settings> 

In second place, I don't know what you're trying to achieve with that Lua code, but it will only output a string of the raw data value of the element that your XML node is.

Easier way around: you'll get a load of text that will make no sense.

Use the following functions for a profitable code:

xmlNodeGetChildren 
xmlNodeGetAttribute

I don't think it matters what I'm trying to achieve, I was just testing if the XML loaded properly, which it didn't. Your XML file didn't work either, it still won't load.

Did you add the file to meta.xml?

Nevermind, I fixed it. Thanks for your help anyway.
