LOCAL loXml
LOCAL lnAutoCreate

* Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or later.
loXml = CreateObject('Chilkat.Xml')

loXml.Tag = "animals"

lnAutoCreate = 1
* When the autoCreate argument equals 1, the UpdateAt
* method auto-creates the children as needed:
loXml.UpdateAt("penguin",lnAutoCreate,"flightless bird")
loXml.UpdateAt("mammal|rodent|squirrel",lnAutoCreate,"bushy tail")
loXml.UpdateAt("mammal|rodent|rat",lnAutoCreate,"long hairless tail")

* Show the XML
? loXml.GetXml()

* 	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
* 	<animals>
* 	    <penguin>flightless bird</penguin>
* 	    <mammal>
* 	        <rodent>
* 	            <squirrel>bushy tail</squirrel>
* 	            <rat>long hairless tail</rat>
* 	        </rodent>
* 	    </mammal>
* 	</animals>

* Now update each node's content..
loXml.UpdateAt("penguin",lnAutoCreate,"black and white")
loXml.UpdateAt("mammal|rodent|squirrel",lnAutoCreate,"grey, red, or black")
loXml.UpdateAt("mammal|rodent|rat",lnAutoCreate,"brown, grey, white, or black")

? loXml.GetXml()

* 	<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
* 	<animals>
* 	    <penguin>black and white</penguin>
* 	    <mammal>
* 	        <rodent>
* 	            <squirrel>grey, red, or black</squirrel>
* 	            <rat>brown, grey, white, or black</rat>
* 	        </rodent>
