How to call 'Format XML' programmatically
Hi again
Does anyone know how to call 'Format XML' (as in the function available from the right-click menu when in a Request) programmatically?
I had to populate some elements in a request using the XMLParser method defined in the user docs. Usually I would use the much simpler methods on the XmlHolder class e.g.holder["//path"] = value but because I have a complex type that has 2 same named elements in them I couldn't get work out how to write to the second element.
e.g.
Anyway, I successfully managed to update the values but the new XML generated puts each tag or end tag on a new line and appears to add whitespace to some of the existing values. When I 'Format XML' this is remedied but I need to be able to call 'Format XML' from within my script.
If anyone can let me in on how to do this that'd be great.
Cheers
Peter
