llSuccess = .F.

loXml = createobject("CkXml")

llSuccess = 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".
llSuccess = loXml.UpdateAttribute("b","pear")

// Because no attribute named "c" exists, UpdateAttribute
// will create it:
llSuccess = 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()
