Collect Assets Based on XML

[StoereSjoerd]

Hi,

I would like to place assets in the correct folder based on the information within a XML file. I've one folder that contains the XML files and one folder that contains the PDF assets. Within the XML the asset names and order numbers are set:

Code: Select all

<Order>
  <OrderNumber>2340</OrderNumber>
  <Asset>hello.pdf</Asset>
</Order>
<Order>
  <OrderNumber>2341</OrderNumber>
  <Asset>bye.pdf</Asset>
</Order>

So asset 'hello.pdf' needs to be placed into folder '2340' and asset 'bye.pdf' into folder '2341'. I tried using XML pickup element, but I don't know how to walk through all the order numbers.

Regards, Sjoerd

You can't loop through a unknown number of multiple nodes, easiest way would be to split your XML so you get 1 order per XML.

This is done over here: http://forum.enfocus.com/viewtopic.php?f=12&t=1201

Ok, thank you Sander. That will be an option! Can loop through nodes with the scripting element be accomplished then?

Yes with scripting you can parse xml as you wish. You can for example use the Node.evalToNodes() call to get a list of matching nodes, and then walk through them with a for loop.
