Re: [Nant-users] Trying to add a node using xmlpoke

[Naz Quadri]

I've just realised that the file I'll be using needs namespaces so the 
below becomes :-

<xx:A>
   <xx:B>
   </xx:B>
</xx:A>
and I need :-
<xx:A>
   <xx:B>
      <xx:C>Some text</xx:C>
   </xx:B>
</xx:A>
Doesn't quite seem to work for me. Any suggestions ?
Thanks
Naz

thanks)

Naz,
Have you tried to remove the '<' and '>' characters, replacing them with
&lt; and &gt;?
           <xmlpoke
               file="file.xml"
               xpath="/A/B"
               value="&lt;C&gt;Some text&lt;/C&gt;" />

Subject: [Nant-users] Trying to add a node using xmlpoke

Hi guys,
I have an xml file sim to :-
<A>
   <B>
   </B>
</A>
I want to add <C> as follows :-
<A>
   <B>
      <C>Some text</C>
   </B>
</A>
Looking at the docs for xmlpoke (note I'm using 0.84 and am not able to 
upgrade to nightly builds)

<Quote>
The location specified by the XPath expression must exist, it will not 
create the parent elements for you. However, provided you have a root 
element you could use a series of the tasks to build the XML file up if 
necessary.
</Quote>

I have tried to do this as follows :-
           <xmlpoke
               file="file.xml"
               xpath="/A/B"
               value="<C>Some text</C>" />
Does not work ('<', hexadecimal value 0x3C, is an invalid attribute 
character.)

I have also tried to use  :-
           <xmlpoke
               file="file.xml"
               xpath="/A/B/C"
               value="Some text" />
Which also fails as per the docs. Can anyone point me in the right 
direction.

Thanks
Naz
