Ned help parsing XML

Question

I have an XML result that is coming back with aliases. I am
parsing this data and putting each element into a database. A
sample of the XML Structure is attached. I am using the ARRAYLEN
feature to count the child elements but that generates an error.
How can I get an accurate count of the <ALIAS> element in
this XML so I now how many times to loop through that set of
elements?

Thanks

if you use cfhttp to read the xml into a variable and then CFDUMP it, you will be able to see all the variables that CF uses in XML parsing, including the ones in your file and the ones you need to access the nested variables.

This is code from an app I use to run through a list of games played from Halo2 using Bungie's XML feed to CF.

This will likely give you a good starting point.
