Description
nsisXML plugin to create and parse XML files using MSXML 2.6 (hope Win98 and better have it)
Instructions:
- Copy nsisXML.dll to Plugins and nsisXML.nsh to include directories
- Read this readme and example files.
Functions available
[Build]
Displays the build version of the plugin. Example: ${nsisXML->Build} ${VAR_RET}
[xPath]
Uses xPath syntax to parse and get strings from elements or attributes values. Example: ${nsisXML->xPath} "PATH_OF_XML_FILE" "XPATH_INSTRUCTION" ${VAR_RET}
[Create]
Creates, in memory, the template of the xml file. Example: ${nsisXML->Create}
[CreateElement]
Let's you create a xml element, from the parent document or from another node. Note: use "XPATH_INSTRUCTION" to locate a node where to put the new element; empty param means the element will be the first child; also "DO_TAB" will make a "tidy" element, use "1" as param to make it, other wise empty means the element will not have tidy (see example #2). Example: ${nsisXML->CreateElement} "XPATH_INSTRUCTION" "STRING_ELEMENT" "DO_TAB"
[CreateComment]
Creates a comment after an element. Example: ${nsisXML->CreateComment} "XPATH_INSTRUCTION" "STRING_COMMENT"
[SetElementAttr]
Adds an attribute and its value to an element. Example: ${nsisXML->SetElementAttr} "XPATH_INSTRUCTION" "Attribute" "Value"
[SetElementText]
Sets the text for an element. Example: ${nsisXML->SetElementText} "XPATH_INSTRUCTION" "STRING_TEXT"
[Display]
Shows in a MessageBox How's your xml tree going. Example: ${nsisXML->Display}
[Release]
Frees the memory from the xml template and save the xml into a file. Example: ${nsisXML->Release} "PATH_OF_XML_FILE"
[OpenXML]
Opens a xml file. Example: ${nsisXML->OpenXML} "PATH_OF_XML_FILE"
[LoadXML]
Loads a xml string tree Example: ${nsisXML->LoadXML} "PATH_OF_THE_FUTURE_XML_FILE" "XML_STRING_TREE"
[CloseXML]
Closes 'OpenXML' or 'LoadXML' functions and saves the updates made to the file. Example: ${nsisXML->CloseXML}
[xml]
Dump in a output var, the xml tree. Example: ${nsisXML->xml} ${VAR_RET}
[removeChild]
Remove an element, upon of the selected index of the node that have it. Example: ${nsisXML->removeChild} "XPATH_INSTRUCTION" "index_of_the_child_to_remove"
[removeAttr]

[TidyFile]
Makes the XML string from a <file> cuter :), see example #9. Example: ${nsisXML->TestFile}
[TestBegin]
Creates a template of XML in the memory, no need params and they are just for testing tasks (see example #8). Example: ${nsisXML->TestBegin}
[TestXML]
Loads a xml string to test your xpath syntaxes. Example: ${nsisXML->TestXML}
[TestFile]
Loads a xml file to test your xpath syntaxes. Example: ${nsisXML->TestFile}
[TestShow]
Shows in a MessageBox the current XML tree. Example: ${nsisXML->TestShow}
[TestEnd]
