Hi Everyone,

I'm trying to parse my XML File with ColdFusion and I've already made an
Object like:

<cffile action="read" file="C:\myxmldoc.xml" variable="XMLFileText">
<cfset myXMLDocument=XmlParse(XMLFileText)>
<cfoutput>#toString(myXMLDocument)#</cfoutput>

my Problem is: I only want to output some childs not the whole XML-File.
I could tranform it with XSLT, but my <xsl:template>...</xslt:template> as xls
String doesn't work.

Thx 4 help,
Sonix

I'm going to use the latest virus alerts feed from .link.XmlText# (where x is
the item number you want)

From here, you can create a simple loop that changes the value of X and
outputs all the items. Even if you're only retrieving one node of data (and
not a series), hopefully the steps described above should help you determine
how to locate and reference the nodes you need.


<cfhttp    url="http://www.sophos.com/virusinfo/infofeed/tenalerts.xml"
        method="GET"
        timeout="15">
</cfhttp>


<cfscript>
    XMLContent = trim(cfhttp.filecontent);
    XMLContent = XMLParse(XMLContent);
</cfscript>


<cfoutput>
    <cfloop from ="1" to="5" index="i">
        <a href="#XMLContent.RDF.item[i].link.XmlText#"
target="_blank">#XMLContent.RDF.item[i].title.XmlText#</a><br>
    </cfloop>
</cfoutput>
