Re: Get data from "xml" file
Assuming that the file is an XML file, this should help.
Code:
Dim xe As XElement
'to load from file
' xe=XElement.Load("your path here")
'to test
xe = <root>
<QuotationInfo>
<Info num="0" name="Number of Loops" value="2"/>
<Info num="3" name="Number of Contained Symbols" value="2"/>
<Info num="4" name="Contained Symbols">
<Symbol name="U-6088-DF-20-3-POS40-D" count="1"/>
<Symbol name="U-6088-DF-20-3-POS70-D" count="1"/>
</Info>
<Info num="5" name="Number of Tools"/>
</QuotationInfo>
</root>
Dim ie As IEnumerable(Of XElement)
ie = From el In xe...<QuotationInfo>.Elements
Where el.Name.LocalName = "Info" AndAlso el.@num = "4" AndAlso el.@name = "Contained Symbols"
From sel In el.Elements Select sel
For Each el As XElement In ie
Debug.WriteLine("{0} {1}", el.Name.LocalName, el.@name)
Next
How well it works depends on the actual file format. Attaching a sample file would help.
