Finding address or xpath of elements

Hi ALL,

I have to find all possible XPATH or ADDRESS in DCR :

For Example : The DCR is :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<record name="e" type="content">
<item name="ID">
<value>222422.1.2</value>
</item>

<item name="Help">
<value/>
</item>

<item name="Content Grouping">
<value>
<item name="Accessible By Internal BTW">
<value>N</value>
</item>
<item name="Accessible By external BTW">
<value/>
</item>
</value>item name="Content Group">
</item>
<item name="Node Order">
<value>1</value>
</item>
</record>

Using This DCR i have to produce output Like :

/e/ID = 222422.1.2
/e/Help =
/e/Content Grouping[0]/Accessible By Internal BTW = N
/e/Content Grouping[1]/Accessible By external BTW =
/e/Node Order = 1

How can i do this considering replicants as shown above.

Can you tell a context in which you are trying to use XPATH? if in oerl, I'd advise to use DCRNode, as it offeres constructs that are similar to XPATH, but suitable for IWOV type DCRs. In native IWOV DCRs the tags are the same, the attribute names differ, as opposed to the industry XMLs, that usually adhere to more standard XML usage...

Depending upon user input [ i.e DCR] to this pl file on some event using callserver i have to show info of this DCR on origional DCT.

Hi,

Let us take a input box, in that user enters the DCR name by browsing, i have to pass this to my pl file and all possible xpath or address with corresponding data of that DCR should be returned back to that main Data-capture templte.

on some event like onItemChange using callserver or some other methods.

Ok. let me summarise what you have said:

1. you are writing a CGI callout for a DCT
2. In thid callout you are to browse to a DCR and it has to return a whole Xpath'd DCRs?

can't you just pass the path to the DCR and then parse it in a repective presentation template/script?

I still have no idea as to why you need this, so I cannot help any further seeing the info that you have provided.

Hi,

Let me try to explain

1) User selects a existing dcr path using browse in data capture form (assume its as main form).
2) call server will make a call to ipl with selected dcr(sub form) path as parameter on the onChange event of browse item
3) The ipl needs to parse the selected dcr into xpath=value pairs string and returns it to main form.
4) main form's user script will populate the corresponding xpath items which are hidden in a container with values returned from ipl
5) and hidden container will be made visible.

Note:
The main form is a all-in-one place data capture form, on save of this form , sub forms(=~ container) will be stored as indiviual dcrs under there corresponding data-types to provide reusability of sub forms accross diffent main forms.
