CopyNode method: XmlNode class

Syntax

CopyNode(&Node)

Description

Use the CopyNode method to copy a node specified by &Node and all of its child nodes into the current node, as a child node. The new node is appended to the end of the list of child nodes. The specified node can belong to a different XmlDoc.

If you just want to copy a top-level node, without copying its children, you can just create a new node with the name of the node you want.

Parameters

Parameter	Description
&Node	Specify an already instantiated node that you want to copy.

Returns

None.

Example

Suppose that your XmlDoc has the following structure:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<myroot>
  <child>
    <subchild/>
  </child>
</myroot>

The following PeopleCode copies the node child and copies it into another doc.

Local XmlDoc &inXMLDoc, &firstDoc;
Local XmlNode &childNode;

&firstDoc = CreateXmlDoc("<?xml version='1.0'?><myroot><child><subchild/></child><⇒
/myroot>");
&inXMLDoc = CreateXmlDoc("<?xml version='1.0'?><root/>");
&childNode = &firstDoc.DocumentElement.FindNode("/child");
&inXMLDoc.DocumentElement.CopyNode(&childNode);

The following is the new structure:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<root>
  <child>
    <subchild/>
  </child>
</root>
