Hi all,

I got a vas t amount of information from here on my last project and cant thatnk those enough who helped. I am hoping for a little bit more.

I had some code that would write an xml file from the contents of a folder and this project is similar but the xml file is a bit different.

this is the code I am using to write the xml file currently

VB Code:
  1. Private Sub Command2_Click()
  2.  
  3.  
  4.     Dim f1 As Integer, songname As String, songpath As String, mp3path As String, f2 As Integer, i As Integer
  5.    
  6.    
  7.     mp3path = "C:\PROGRAM FILES\Image text Editor\photos\"
  8.    
  9.      f2 = FreeFile
  10.     Open mp3path & "mp3.txt" For Output As #f2       ' if you don't need mp3.txt take out
  11.      f1 = FreeFile
  12.      
  13.     Open mp3path & "audiolist.xml" For Output As #f1
  14.     Print #f1, "<?xml version=""1.0""?>"
  15.     Print #f1, "<slides>"
  16.     songname = Dir(mp3path & "\*.jpg")   ' get first track
  17.     i = 1
  18.     While Not Len(songname) = 0
  19.         songpath = "<slidenode jpegURL=""" & mp3path & songname & """ title=""" & songname & """/> "
  20.         Print #f1, songpath
  21.         Print #f2, songname                  ' for mp3.txt
  22.         Sleep 100                                ' slight pause, needed
  23.         songname = Dir                         ' get next track
  24.    
  25.     Wend
  26.     Print #f1, "</slides>"
  27.  
  28.  
  29. Close
  30. End Sub

I am trying to adapt this code to write the xml file like this

<?xml version=\"1.0\" encoding=\"UTF-8\"?>
<slides>

<slideNode jpegURL="photos/marylin.jpg">dokie</slideNode>
<slideNode jpegURL="photos/ragingwater.jpg">okie</slideNode>
</slides>

hope someone can help.

thanks in advance
