Hi David
Is there anyway I can retrieve the higher nodes attributes more quickly? The following example file is about 50,000 lines.
When using the input string: "xml|TRAININGCENTERDATABASE/ACTIVITIES/ACTIVITY/LAP/TRACK/TRACKPOINT/"
The trackpoint data is retrieved in feasible time, but when trying go access the higher level node attributes e.g.
"xml|TRAININGCENTERDATABASE/ACTIVITIES/ACTIVITY/"
the script becomes extremely slow, and times out on most files. This also happens on your demo server. I don't need all the info in one call as I want to store information in a relational db - is there anyway to skip reading of childnodes, or to specifiy a maximum recursion / node depth or any other way I can get the higher level data faster - especially ACTIVITY and LAP?
Many thanks

That's fantastic! Just what I needed! Thank you for all your help! And for a speedy response (your reply and your script execution!)! This is going to make my app much better! Thank you!
A great script!

Hello Jez, and welcome to the forum!
I have a development version of Magic Parser that provides access to all parent elements of the child node you are parsing against which I will email to you in just a moment.
With this version, you would continue to use the leaf node format string e.g.
xml|TRAININGCENTERDATABASE/ACTIVITIES/ACTIVITY/LAP/TRACK/TRACKPOINT/
...but in the $record array as seen by your myRecordHandler function you will also have access to all parent elements using standard directory notation e.g. ../PARENT/ELEMENT/
Cheers,
David
