Another XML Question [message #43081]

Folks,

OK, I'm lost again. :-(

I have an XML file that looks like this:

<CONFIGDATA>
<CAMPAIGN_ID>
<TYPE>INT</TYPE>
<VALUE>00</VALUE>
</CAMPAIGN_ID>
<SPAM_WAIT>
<TYPE>INT</TYPE>
<VALUE>60</VALUE>
<UNITS>sec</UNITS>
</SPAM_WAIT>
<HEARTBEAT_TIME>
<TYPE>INT</TYPE>
<VALUE>60</VALUE>
<UNITS>sec<UNITS>
</HEARTBEAT_TIME>
</CONFIGDATA>

I wish to make widgets that look something like this:

field = FSC_Field(tlb, Title='CAMPAIGN_ID' + '', Value=0, /Integer)
field = FSC_Field(tlb, Title='SPAM_WAIT' + ' (sec)', Value=60)
field = FSC_Field(tlb, Title='HEARTBEAT_TIME + ' (sec)', Value=60)

Naturally, I wish to make then in a generic fashion from the XML
file.

I cannot figure out how to pull out the information from
the CAMPAIGN_ID element for example:

name: CAMPAIGN_ID
value: 00
units: n/a

Without knowing in my code that the element CAMPAIGN_ID exists.

I guess my question is this: How can I find all the sub-elements
of CONFIGDATA in a generic way? (I can find ALL the elements in the
file, but what I want is the first sub-elements of CONFIGDATA, then
all of *its* sub-elements, etc.) I find the documentation uh, vague. :-(

Thanks.

Cheers,

David
