Hi

I have an XML document with a large number of fields.

I want to select a block of data using 'position' eg


<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<Main>
<Data>
<Field no="1">Name1</Field>
<Field no="2">Name2</Field>
.....
.....

</Data?
</Main>

I used //Field[5 <= position() and position() <= 10] which gives me a result using https://www.freeformatte...th-tester.html#ad-output

<Field no="1">Name1</Field>
<Field no="2">Name2</Field>
<Field no="3">Name3</Field>
<Field no="4">Name4</Field>
<Field no="5">Name5</Field>

ok good, so i plugged that into vMixx and get

|no|#text
|5|name1
|6|name2
|7|name3
|8|name4
|9|name5

So I don't want the "no" column just the name data. [EDIT it's returning the attribute 'no' ? ]

I tried //Field[position() <= 5 and position() <= 10]/text() in https://www.freeformatte...th-tester.html#ad-output

and it returns

name1
name2
name3
name4
name5

Plug that into Xpath in Data Sources and I get an "ERROR: Object reference not set to an instance of an object"

Sorta stumped, has anyone some advice?

Thanks kjones9999, tried both and it still returns the "no" attribute as a column.

Seems I am getting an error when ever I try to use the /text() to extrat the inner text value of "Field", maybe text() is not installed in XML version in vMix or I am not understanding the usage correctly

In any case I have used a work around in vMix Data Source by assigning the Column for each text place holder in the GT title and that works.

Incidently I do not have control over the XML file as that is generated from a 3rd party app from the scoreboard source.

Actually I loaded in to vmix and that first row is treated as a column label and vmix does not use it.

Hi Martin

Thanks for the input and your suggestion is exactly what I did.
