XML File Update Program
Summary:
We have an xml file which contains custom data. We have been editing the text but this is not always simple.
We want a program that will accept input fields and write them to the xml file in the correct place and in the correct format.
Details:
See the included screen shot example(photoshopped screenshot)
Make a data entry/edit program that edits an xml data file.
Data file looks like this:
<BigCategory1>
<!-- ## Subcategory1 -->
<site search="[login to view URL]" msg="This is a big website"/>
<site text1="bigwebsite" text2="biggerwebsite" msg="This is a bigger website than the last"/>
</BigCategory1>
We need to easily add entries and edit current entries to change the values for search, text1, text2, text3 fields and the message.
result must maintain XML format and will convert to xml appropriate formats such as converting a user entry for
<a href
to
<a href
because xml files cannot contain the greater than symbol as part of a text field.
Program is windows only. Please let me know what language you would choose for this project. VB6 or realbasic would be preferred.
More detailed information and a sample data file will be provided to the programmer.
