integer li_rc
oleobject loo_Xml
integer li_Success
integer li_AutoTrim

loo_Xml = create oleobject
// Use "Chilkat_9_5_0.Xml" for versions of Chilkat < 10.0.0
li_rc = loo_Xml.ConnectToNewObject("Chilkat.Xml")
if li_rc < 0 then
    destroy loo_Xml
    MessageBox("Error","Connecting to COM object failed")
    return
end if

// If autoTrim is 1, then the content inside an leaf element is trimmed.
// For example:
li_AutoTrim = 1
loo_Xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",li_AutoTrim)
Write-Debug loo_Xml.GetXml()

// Output is:
// (notice the SPACE chars before and after "xyz" are trimmed)

// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
// <abc>
//     <xyz>123</xyz>
// </abc>

// If autoTrim is 0, then the content inside leaf elements are not trimmed.
li_AutoTrim = 0
loo_Xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",li_AutoTrim)
Write-Debug loo_Xml.GetXml()

// Output is:

// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
// <abc>
//     <xyz>  123   </xyz>
// </abc>

// --------------------------------------------------------------------
// The EmitCompact property controls whether XML is emitted indented (pretty-printed)
// or compact.  For example:

// Auto-trim + emit compact:
li_AutoTrim = 1
loo_Xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",li_AutoTrim)
loo_Xml.EmitCompact = 1
Write-Debug loo_Xml.GetXml()

// Output is:

// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
// <abc><xyz>123</xyz></abc>

// No Auto-trim + emit compact:
li_AutoTrim = 0
loo_Xml.LoadXml2("<abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>",li_AutoTrim)
loo_Xml.EmitCompact = 1
Write-Debug loo_Xml.GetXml()

// Output is:

// <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
// <abc><xyz>  123   </xyz></abc>
