Hi Chris,

thanks for your response

1) Do you want to do this when creating or reading the XML data stream? Yes

2) Are you using a DataWindow or PBDOM to interact with the XML data stream? Datawindow

3) If you using a DW - what import / export mechanism are you using?

Tab : DataExport

Property : XML format

Use Template : <Own_template>

See example below :

Hi Alain;

  Can you tell us ...

1) Do you want to do this when creating or reading the XML data stream?

2) Are you using a DataWindow or PBDOM to interact with the XML data stream?

3) If you using a DW - what import / export mechanism are you using?

Hi Alain;



Since your using the DWO's built-in XML feature set. After the DWO Export to XML, you will have to parse out the XML yourself by re-reading the exported XML file using the FileRead(), POS(), Replace() & FileWrite () commands or read the exported file back in using the PBDOM feature to parse out the extraneous datum. Then write the cleaned-up XML file back to disk..



Regards ... Chris
