XML Read and Write
« on: December 11, 2005, 04:00:54 AM »
Does anyone have any source they are prepared to share for Reading, Parsing, Writing XML files from Vlisp in AutoCAD ?

I imagined either VLisp or VB6 DLL source. <callable from VLisp>

You can use the XML COM libraries Microsoft provides from VLISP, can't you?

Am I missing something? XML is just text, right? Why wouldn't you treat it like any other text file?

Not exactly.  XML is structured text.  Any XML parser should be able to validate an XML file against a schema or document type definition that describes how that file should be structured.  Parsing XML manually would be no trivial task.  Besides, why would you want to when so many well-written parsers already exist?

If you are interested in learning more about it, check out http://www.w3schools.com/xml/default.asp.

Using the COM is a pain in the behind!

Yes, Chuck. Available time is my issue.

another option is to build a C# dll, but I need to service across several Acad releases.

.. I recall there was a compiled library posted here some time ago. I'll have a look for/at that. This is a love job, so the expected 'norm' of providing source may have to be thrown out the window.
