Hello all,

is it possible to strip all namespaces in an xml file when using an switchscript?

Or which namespace must i register when there are namespace definitions like this:

thanks in advance and best regards

var xmlFile = new Document( path to XML file );

var defaultMap = xmlFile.createDefaultMap();

Be sure to look it up in the online help for more explanation: Scripting module - Scripting reference - XML module - Document class and Metadata module - Map class.

Thanks for your reply.

Actually i am using this after test all avaible namespaces in the xml, and this works.

var dataset = job.getDataset("Xml");

var theXML = new Document( dataset.getPath( ) );

var ns = theXML.createEmptyMap();

ns.put("i" ,"http://url.to/schemas/orderexport");

ok ... i guess i must use the one in xmlns field

deleteng all namespaces from an xml seems to be impossible with switchscripter

it's impossible because you have to enable the namespaces in order to target the element! You could simply open it as a file instead of as a document and perform a line by line string search for "", closing the file and reopening as document then, but that would be a _very_ crude hack!
