XML & TWIG

Hazzie

This is a question directed at twig but i suppose its xml in general. Using TWIG how do you physically delete a node from a nodelist and how do you update a childvalue.

i.e. using this sample bit of xml

<root>
  <user>
    <id>1</id>
    <name>Hazzie</name>
    <dept>aaaaa</dept>
  </user>
  <user>
    <id>2</id>
    <name>ABC</name>
    <dept>DEF</dept>
  </user>
  <user>
    <id>3</id>
    <name>UVW</name>
    <dept>XYZ</dept>
  </user>
</root>

1) how would i delete (physically from the xml file - not just from memory) the whole User with an element id of 2
2) how would i update User 3's dept from XYZ to ZZZ

Any pointers would be helpfull.

I'm not sure how you'd do this in TWIG - but with TeamSite::XMLnode you can load in the XML file, perform manipulations of the XML in memory, and then write the modified XML back out. See 'perldoc TeamSite::XMLnode' for more details.
