XML not filtering

Question

Hello,

I've written code that loads in an XML file. Once loaded I
can filter out a specific user by typing there name in and clicking
a button. This works fine when the XML file only contains a few
elements but when I load in a larger XML file the filter function
doesn't work.

I know all the data is being loaded in, it just won't filter.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Steve

Hello,The double dot thing just threw up errors.I fixed the problem, because you asked what the value ofxmlListFiltered was I added a couple of trace statements to see howmany elements were in xmlList and xmlListFiltered. The code wasworking and filtering properly but it showed that there weremultiple elements with the same user name so xmlListFiltered wasgetting passed more than one element which caused the if statementnot to run.Thanks for your help.Steve

Did the xml schema change? If so, maybe you could use the double dot to access the node you want?

instead of this:
xmlListFiltered = xmlList.(User_Name == filter);

if(xmlListFiltered.User_Name == filter){

do this:

xmlListFiltered = xmlList..(User_Name == filter);

if(xmlListFiltered..User_Name == filter){

If that doesn't work, I need more info. Like, what's the xml schema? What's the value of xmlListFiltered when you load the large xml?
