Visual FoxPro

Update an XML Attribute

See more XML Examples

Demonstrates how to update XML attributes.

The output XML is this:

<abc b="pear" c="orange" a="130">Test</abc>

Visual FoxPro

LOCAL lnSuccess
LOCAL loXml

lnSuccess = 0

loXml = CreateObject('Chilkat.Xml')

lnSuccess = loXml.LoadXml('<abc a="123" b="apple">Test</abc>')

* The UpdateAttribute and AddOrUpdateAttribute methods
* are identical.  Both will replace the attribute's value if it
* already exists, or insert a new attribute if it does not yet exist.

* Change the value of attribute "b" to "pear".
lnSuccess = loXml.UpdateAttribute("b","pear")

* Because no attribute named "c" exists, UpdateAttribute
* will create it:
lnSuccess = loXml.UpdateAttribute("c","orange")

* If an attribute's value is an integer, the AddToAttribute
* method may be called to update it by adding an integer value.
* For example, update the value of "a" to "130" by adding 7.
loXml.AddToAttribute("a",7)

* Examine the result:
? loXml.GetXml()

RELEASE loXml
