Hi all
This may be considered by _some_ as NF, but here goes
I have the following code:
loXML = Createobject('MSXML2.DomDocument') loXML.loadXML(lcXML) lcolElements = loXML.GetElementsByTagName("Bank") For Each loElement In lcolElements ? loElement.Attributes.Item(0).Text Etc/usw
Part of the XML looks like this
<Bank id="1" name=" None" styleid="0" ></Bank> Note the leading space
The code above returns "None" - without the leading space. I have tried replacing the leading space with   but it is still stripped off. I tried replacing the leading space with and the XML fails to load at all.
loXML.PreserveWhiteSpace = .T. seems to apply to all white space not just that between the quote marks and that messes things up completely.
Any ideas/suggestions would be much appreciated

Looks like FoxPro code to me... dunno why it would be NF.
<Bank id="1" name=" None" styleid="0" ></Bank> Note the leading space
So, you need the prefixed blank spaces in the name value preserved?
Thanks for your reply Ted
In answer to your question, yes (but _please_ don't ask why <g>)

As best as I can figure, this is all that's known about the subject:
I'd take a look at casting xml:space=preserve directly in the bank element, to see if that would like you find the spaces in the name while not messing up the rest of the document structure.
But there's a few other links there that might have better suggestions. The stackoverflow link is pretty confusing, but using the nodeValue link instead of the Text might do the trick.
Thanks Ted
I'll look into that on Monday
Paul

Brilliant Ted ! NodeValue did the trick
Thanks again

Cool, glad to hear it!
My superpower seems to be in phrasing questions in such a way that the Great Seach Engine in The Sky yields the correct answer out of 14,000 hits found. I would have made a killer reference librarian somewhere.
Yeah - but as a Ref Librarian - you would not have been paid so nicely as you are from being a Techie!

I was pretty convinced that with the right 3 words, you could find most anything you needed with Google on the first page of hits. Still works pretty well, but not as good as it used to.

Gotta love that MapReduce.
Use to play LEAST number of results from a query where top # had to drink. There were rules defined as to what you could search with quotes and all.

I'm still surprised when I get 0 hits on a search. That seems almost impossible!

Stephen - are you serious? You played a Beer drinking game w/friends based upon Google - as opposed to - say - Beer Pong - or bouncing a Quarter?
Damn - gotta say - Techie people come up with Weird Shit sometimes!

Yep that was it. Two words no punctuation. It was easy on a phone or a tablet instead of needing a pc and monitor space wise.
