Thank you for that reference. I have been reading up on this code block a little because I didn't recognize the .replace() command in there. I see it may be leveraging the EX4 extensions in acrobat. Is that correct? The purpose of the .replace function according to John Brinkman is:
"Oddly, E4X refuses to process the xml processing instruction at the front of an XML fragment. If it’s there, you will get a syntax error: “xml is a reserved identifier”. The workaround is to remove leading processing instructions with a regular expression such as:
sXML = sXML.replace(/^[\s\S]*?(<[^\?!])/, “$1”);" -J. Brinkman blog 22SEP2010
It seems to load the data into the form OK, but I am curious what would the string then look like in vImportXML? I would need to understand that variable if I am to write something that leverages the data in it correct? Thing1's and Thing2's from above are related in the XML to the same row. That sibling relationship is something I hope to leverage.
I can write a loop with an if statement condition that if no number matches messagebox a 'try again'. If the loop condition matches a Thing1 in vImportXML, I am am not sure how to output a sibling Thing2 to a 'thingField2'.
