How to make friends with СС2018 and СС2015 when working with XML-files

[AndreyLarush]

Hello everybody.

in the CC 2015 to read the files I have a script, everything works well

function readXML (file) {//------------------------------------
  try {
    file = File(file) 
//    file.encoding = "UTF8";   
//    file.lineFeed = "unix";   
    file.open('r');
    content = file.read();
    file.close();
    return new XML(content);
  } catch (e) {
    alert("" + e.message + "\n Error read from XML " + file );
  }
  return content;
};
function writeXML(file,xml) {//---------------------------------
  try {
    file = File(file)    
  //  file.encoding = "UTF8";       
    file.open("w");
    file.write(xml);
    file.close();
  } catch (e) {
    alert("" + e.message + "\n Error write to XML " );  }
  return true;
};

PS CC2018 read XML file (I control the information from the file by using Alert() ), but if I write to the file back, the file will be empty

If add rows 03,04,19 -  CC2018 worked. But CC2015 not read XML file

I did not check, but try using this version of the write function

function writeXML(file,xml)
  try {  
    file = File(file)      
    file.encoding = "UTF8";         
    file.open("w");  
    file.write("\uFEFF"); 
    file.writeln(xml);
    file.close();  
  } catch (e) {  
    alert("" + e.message + "\n Error write to XML " );  }  
  return true;  
};

I'm sorry, at work I have installed CC2017.1 ... I tried your code, it works on both versions of Photoshop (СС2015.1 - СС2017.1). Thank you !
