im gonna try it, one question..

is better to have an xml loaded all the script's lifetime? or just load it everytime i need to retrieve data from it.(refering to speed, memory consumption..)

I'm actually loading the xml inside a function before retrieving data but i could load it in the ahk public section and access it as a global variable.

This cant be answered easily. How big is the file? How often do you need to change it on the disk? ... and so on. Memory comsumption is less important to me than speed. In most situation, loading it once into memory and access from there is common. If the file is big, then this technique is preferred. my recommendations ...

Well,

I'm developing a Remember the milk API done entirely in Autohotkey, so ...potentially the xml colud be very big, as long as the task list of the user

Example from my own tasks...:

Titan: I looked at this a long time ago, but I didn't think it worked with sibling nodes so I ended up writing my own function which was tailored to my specific problem and not very reusable. Looking at xpath again I realized I have been mixing it up with infogulche's simpler function. So I'd like to update my script to use xpath which seems very robust.

After downloading xpath I couldn't get it to work properly. I think the first example in the documentation needs to be updated from this:

Hey everybody,

I think there is something wrong with the way CDATA is handled.
I noticed there is a place in the code that is intended to escape tags while inside the CDATA, but this code did not work for me and left tags unescaped.

The behavior was particularly problematic when the CDATA contained tags that are not closed - this breaks the xpath parser completely.

I am using xpath version 3.13c, and below is an example - you will notice that data after the broken element (Item 2) is no longer accessible.

The XML:

Not sure if this question goes here or in a new ask-for-help thread.
I'm new to xpath, and xml in general.
Using xpath 3.13c. Haven't fiddled with xpath4.
I'm trying to write a script to look for the content in /sets/set/object/title/text()
where /sets/set/object/bottom/edge/amount/text() is a specific value.

I do not want multiple title values returned, just the one that corresponds to the bottom/edge/amount/text().

gives me a blank msgbox, any ideas why? :(

Hey there-
Im looking to do the same thing as this... use more than one search condition to return a value. Is this possible?

Thanks a bunch!

Locking thread since I do not support this script any more.
