I am working on a batch flattening project using Watched Folder.

I have a parent process for locating the directory and invokes a subprocess for flattening the PDF files.

I want to write the failed directory to the XML.

If there are multiple failed directory locations and if I want to add it to the node, it won't let me do.

If I set the Xpath location as /process_data/outputXML/flattenDirectoryRequestMessage/failureFileLocation[x]/@path it gives me invalid character exception.I am using 'x' for looping and incrementing.

If I don't use the [x]. The directory is overwritten.

Any idea how to loop and add all the failed directories to the attribute of the xml node?

I understood that you cannot loop through the xml to assign value to each node. Rather you can assign it only once to the node.

I figured out that, it is not possible to do it that way. So we have to concatenate it as Strings and then attach to the xml once.

I presume that X is a variable of type int.

Just modify the XPATH expression as below and give it a try..

OR

Hi Nith,

I tried all this options, Still I get the same error. Anytime I use square parenthesis ([]) I am getting this error. I think may be in Xpath we cannot use the [] to assign values, we can only parse to retreive the values and assign it to another variable in the procees_data. I am not sure tho.
