Description

Queries entries from XML nodes.
Returns list of reference numbers for XML objects.
Processing large XML gets faster if you first split the top level items into individual items and then process each on your own.

Later pass list to XML.Release to release them all.
See JSON.GetArrayItems for JSON.

# New Script in file Extract Text

Set Variable [ $xml ; Value: "<people><person><firstname>Peter</firstname></person><person><firstname>Michael</firstname></person></people>" ]
# split it
Set Variable [ $list ; Value: MBS( "XML.ItemRefs"; $xml; 0 ) ]
# now take items from the list and show
Set Variable [ $xml1 ; Value: GetValue($list; 1) ]
Show Custom Dialog [ "xml1" ; MBS("XML.Format"; $xml1) ]
Set Variable [ $xml2 ; Value: GetValue($list; 2) ]
