See more XML Examples

Demonstrates the XML UpdateAttrAt method to update attribute name/value pairs in XML.

Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or later.

PowerShell

Add-Type -Path "C:\chilkat\ChilkatDotNet47-x64\ChilkatDotNet47.dll"

# Note: This example requires Chilkat v9.5.0.64 or later.
$xml = New-Object Chilkat.Xml

$xml.Tag = "animals"

$autoCreate = $true

# When the autoCreate argument equals $true, the UpdateAttrAt
# method auto-creates the children as needed:
$xml.UpdateAttrAt("penguin",$autoCreate,"feature","flightless bird")
$xml.UpdateAttrAt("mammal|rodent|squirrel",$autoCreate,"feature","bushy tail")
$xml.UpdateAttrAt("mammal|rodent|rat",$autoCreate,"feature","long hairless tail")

# Show the XML
$($xml.GetXml())

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

# Now update each node's "feature" attribute..
$xml.UpdateAttrAt("penguin",$autoCreate,"feature","black and white")
$xml.UpdateAttrAt("mammal|rodent|squirrel",$autoCreate,"feature","grey, red, or black")
$xml.UpdateAttrAt("mammal|rodent|rat",$autoCreate,"feature","brown, grey, white, or black")

$($xml.GetXml())

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