xml parsing

[jimmyshoes]

I am trying to parse the xml from a pdf file. I have used the following to get the xml

<CFSet xmlDoc = XMLParse(toString(output))>

I want to search the xml for a specific node called <xap:ModifyDate> . How is this best achieved?

If you know the heirarchy, you can use XmlSearch.

This is from the CF docs:

http://livedocs.adobe.com/coldfusion/8/htmldocs/help.html?content=XML_10.html

The employeesimple.xml file contains the following XML:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<employee>
<!-- A list of employees -->
<name EmpType="Regular">
<first>Almanzo</first>
<last>Wilder</last>
</name>
<name EmpType="Contract">
<first>Laura</first>
<last>Ingalls</last>
</name>
</employee>

The CFML file contains the following lines:

<cfscript>
myxmldoc = XmlParse("C:\CFusionMX7\

http://wwwroot\examples\employeesimple.xml");

selectedElements = XmlSearch(myxmldoc, "/employee/name/last");
for (i = 1; i LTE ArrayLen(selectedElements); i = i + 1)
writeoutput(selectedElements.XmlText & "<br>");
</cfscript>
