If I have the following XML file
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<snippetcollection>
<maincat name="php">
<subcat name="strings">
<snippet>
<title>explode-example1</title>
<content>txttxttxt</content>
</snippet>
</subcat>
</maincat>
</snippetcollection>
How can I create folders and subfolder with a text file and set it's content:
php (folder, main_cat)
|
|--strings (subfolder, subcat)
|
|--explode-example1.txt (textfile and contents="txttxttxt")

Please give valid XML example. Things like <main_cat="php"> are invalid.

My apologies for that, I changed the XML example.

Sorry to bother you again, I really am but this very simple problem is beating me up ( I tried different approaches using the helpfile and xml discussions on forum).
The following example works perfect to extract "mainfolder-1" and "mainfolder-2", they both get printed out in the "out" window.
Macro Macro
str sXml=
;<?xml version = "1.0"?>
;<Folder-list>
,;<Folder>
,,;<SubFolders>
,,,;<Folder>
,,,,;<Expanded>False1b</Expanded>
,,,,;<Snippets></Snippets>
,,,,;<Title>sub1</Title>
,,,;</Folder>
,,;</SubFolders>
,,;<Title>mainfolder-1</Title>
,;</Folder>
,;<Folder>
,,;<SubFolders>
,,,;<Folder>
,,,,;<Expanded>False2b</Expanded>
,,,,;<Snippets></Snippets>
,,,,;<Title>sub2</Title>
,,,;</Folder>
,,;</SubFolders>
,,;<Title>mainfolder-2</Title>
,;</Folder>
;</Folder-list>
IXml x=CreateXml
x.FromString(sXml)
ARRAY(IXmlNode) b
;------cycle path-------------
x.Path("/Folder-list/Folder" b)
;------cycle path-------------
int i
for i 0 b.len
,str titlecheck=b[i].ChildValue("Title")
,,if (!empty(titlecheck))
,,,,out(titlecheck)
But when I want to extract the "sub1" and "sub2", it doesn't work. What I mean is, only 1 gets printed out in the "out" window => "sub1".
Not "sub1" and "sub2". The method I used is by altering:
Macro Macro
;------cycle path-------------
x.Path("/Folder-list/Folder" b)
;------cycle path-------------
to
Macro Macro
;------cycle path-------------
x.Path("/Folder-list/Folder/SubFolders/Folder" b)
;------cycle path-------------

Path() does not support this. When it finds first <SubFolders>, it gets all its children <Folder> and does not search for other <SubFolders>. Standard XPath probably would get all, but QM supports XPath only partially.
In this case need 2 loops.

I am sorry to bother you again, in the final stages of my macro I can't finish it because of a very "simple" problem.
I am trying to create a directory structure from an array, but I keep getting the error:
Error (RT) in Macro3: cannot create folder: Cannot create a file when that file already exists. ?
I simplified the part where everything stops:
Macro Macro3
out
ARRAY(str) path_string
str drive="d:\test\"
int i
path_string.create(3)
path_string[0]="mainfolder-1\sub-1\sub-sub-1\"
path_string[1]="mainfolder-2\sub-2\"
path_string[2]="mainfolder-3\sub3\sub-sub-3\sub-sub-sub-3\"
;path_string[0]="d:\test\mainfolder-1\sub-1\sub-sub-1\"
;path_string[1]="d:\test\mainfolder-2\sub-2\"
;path_string[2]="d:\test\mainfolder-3\sub3\sub-sub-3\sub-sub-sub-3\"
;
for i 0 path_string.len
,out "%i %s" i path_string[i]
,mkdir F"{drive}{path_string[i]}"
I am guessing that when the second array index is beeing processed, it halts because "d:\test" already exists? (the green 'commented out' block was another attempt where I incorporated the whole path, but it didn't work either)
Is there any way around this? The "mkdir" command hasn't got any special flags (overwrite?) I can use.
The final form of the code will be sometehing like this
Macro xml_folder_structure_builder
str filePath=F"d:\test\{folder_stucture[m1i]}\{snippet_title}.txt"
snippet_content.setfile(filePath)
and {snippet_title} will be retrieved from an array

It seems that mkdir does not like \ at the end of path.
I'll fix it in next QM.
