manipulating an xml file

Report · Jan 29, 2009

Hi,

I am trying to use coldfusion to edit an xml file. Well its actually a fusebox file (circuit.xml.cfm).

I'd like to use the the microsoft xmldom object to do this like so...
CreateObject("com", "Microsoft.XMLDOM")

My xml file looks like this:

<circuit access="public" permissions="news" menu="News services" default="createNewsRelease">

<fuseaction name="Homepage" access="public" permissions="news">
<xfa name="createNewsRelease" value="createNewsRelease"/>
<xfa name="newsEditList" value="listNewsReleases"/>
<xfa name="newsPublishList" value="listChangesToPublish"/>
<xfa name="editNewsRelease" value="editNewsRelease"/>
<relocate url="#myself##myFusebox.originalCircuit#.createNewsRelease"/>
<set name="variables.strLatestNewsOptions" value="null"/>
<include template="#variables.strCoreFuses#/news/qry_getNewsReleasesSummary"/>
<include template="#variables.strCoreFuses#/news/dsp_Homepage" contentvariable="strPageContent" overwrite="false" append="true"/>
</fuseaction>

<fuseaction name="createNewsRelease" access="public" permissions="news.create" menu="Create a news release">
<xfa name="submit" value="createNewsReleaseAction"/>
<set name="variables.strRecordsetToCopy" value="getNewsRelease"/>
<include template="#variables.strCoreFuses#/news/qry_getNewsReleaseDefaults"/>
<include template="#variables.strCoreFuses#/news/act_copyRecordsetToAttributes"/>
<include template="#variables.strCoreFuses#/news/dsp_createNewsReleaseHeader" contentvariable="strPageContent" append="true"/>
<do action="formNewsRelease" contentvariable="strPageContent" append="true" overwrite="true"/>
</fuseaction>

<fuseaction name="createPDF" access="public" permissions="news.create" menu="Create a news release">
<xfa name="submit" value="createNewsReleaseAction"/>
<set name="variables.strRecordsetToCopy" value="getNewsRelease"/>
<include template="#variables.strCoreFuses#/news/qry_getNewsReleaseDefaults"/>
<include template="#variables.strCoreFuses#/news/act_copyRecordsetToAttributes"/>
<include template="#variables.strCoreFuses#/news/dsp_createNewsReleaseHeader" contentvariable="strPageContent" append="true"/>
<do action="formNewsRelease" contentvariable="strPageContent" append="true" overwrite="true"/>
</fuseaction>

</circuit>

what i'd like to do is to remove the createNewsRelease and createPDF fuseactions (nodes) from this xml file?

Can anyone help me?

Thx

MS's DOM is based on the w3 one so Node.removeChild(child) should work.
But there's an easier way in ColdFusion: XmlParse and friends. Is there
a specific reason why you're not using those ?
