XML - Read attribute value from node¶
This custom action lets you read the value of an attribute associated to an XML node.
Warning: this custom action requires an XML ID that is first created with "Begin editing file or string".
| Property Name | Data Type | Description |
|---|---|---|
| AttributeName | string | A string specifying the name of the attribute to return. |
| IDXML | TXMLID | A unique string identifier associated to the opened XML resource you want to read data from. |
| PathToNode | XPath | XPath expression to the node that contains the attribute. |
