ISDefined Problems with Arrays from XML 1

[MinalMoe]

I am using MX7 to XMLParse and then XMLSearch tp finf variables from Flight Operators. Sadly, not every operator provides consistent XML Structures, and so certain fields are missing without any idea which are missing. If I attempt to use <cfif IsDefined to block out missing fields as below:-

<cfif IsDefined("Options_Array.XmlAttributes.UnitCost")>

I get the Error Message - Parameter 1 of function IsDefined, which is now "Options_Array.XmlAttributes.UnitCost", must be a syntactically valid variable name.

How do I get around that?

Thanks for any help.

Did you try using StructKeyExists()?

xmlSearch()

once you figure it out (hint: CFML Reference) it is very nice when xml nodes, attributes, values don't always exist.

Phase 1: Read the CFML Reference
Phase 2: ???
Phase 3: Profit!
