XMLDOM and Namespace

[ChrisL]

I don't understand why I can't read some XML, the example below shows the problem.

_Test() the XML contains xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/2.5" and will not read the versionNumber

_TestNoNameSpace() has the namespace removed and works fine.

Anyone know why or how I can get this working please?

#include "_XMLDomWrapper.au3"

MsgBox(0,"",_Test())

MsgBox(0,"",_TestNoNamespace())


Func _Test()

Local $Str = '<update xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/2.5"><versionNumber>7.0.215</versionNumber></update>'
_XMLLoadXML($str)
$ret = _XMLGetFirstValue("/update/versionNumber")
Return $ret

EndFunc

Func _TestNoNamespace()

Local $Str = '<update><versionNumber>7.0.215</versionNumber></update>'
_XMLLoadXML($str)
$ret = _XMLGetFirstValue("/update/versionNumber")
Return $ret

EndFunc



Func _XMLGetFirstValue($node)

Local $ret_val

$ret_val = _XMLGetValue($node)
If IsArray($ret_val) Then
Return ($ret_val[1])
Else
Return SetError(1,3,0)
EndIf

EndFunc

You'd probably have to dig into the UDF function to figure it out, but this works:

Local $Str = '<update xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/air/framework/update/description/2.5"><versionNumber>7.0.215</versionNumber></update>'
$oXML = ObjCreate("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
$oXML.loadXML($Str)
$oNode=$oXML.SelectSingleNode('/update/versionNumber')
ConsoleWrite($oNode.text & @CRLF)

output:

7.0.215
