XMLPrevious (Function)

In french: XMLPrécédent

Positions on the previous element (tag or attribute).

If no search is in progress: moves to the element preceding the current one in the tree structure.

If a search is in progress: moves to the previous item searched for.

The browses are performed in alphabetical order of the attributes.

Example

// Positions on the last element
XMLLast("XMLDoc")
WHILE XMLOut("XMLDoc") = False
	// Process the data
	XMLPrevious("XMLDoc")
END

Syntax

<Result> = XMLPrevious(<XML document>)

<Result>: Boolean

True if an element was found,
False otherwise. If an error occurs:
the current position remains unchanged.
the ErrorOccurred variable is set to True. To get more details on the error, use ErrorInfo.

<XML document>: Character string

Name of the XML document used. This document contains the XML code to study and it was created by XMLDocument.

Remarks

Handling elements in the XML code

After XMLPrevious, the current element can be handled by XMLElementName, XMLParentName, XMLElementType and XMLData.

XML functions and threads

If your application uses threads, the XML document is shared between all these threads. For more details on threads, see Managing threads.

If the current position in an XML document is modified in a thread, the current position in this XML document is modified for all the threads.
