strings, a single row of strings
The result of a XPath query or the children of a node can be a set of XMLElements, so the aim of this function is to convert the contents of each nodes into a string.
doc = xmlReadStr("<root><a>Hello</a><a>Scilab</a><a>World</a></root>"); // Retrieve the content of the nodes with name equal to "a" xp = xmlXPath(doc, "//a/text()"); // convert the result into a row of strings data = xmlAsText(xp) xmlDelete(doc); | ![]() | ![]() |
