Function getName
This function is part of the StAX support.
Name
getName returns the name of a START_ELEMENT event as a QName.Synopsis
getName( $event )Description
getName returns the name of an element.
The $event argument must be a START_ELEMENT event returned from nextEvent.
To use the StAX functions you need to import them into either the global namespace or a local namespace.
Its recommended that you use a local namespace so that there is less chance of name collisions.
Example: process every START_EVENT for element named "element" and print the attribute value for "attr"
Given an xml file "file.xml"
<file>
<element attr="attr1"/>
<element attr="attr2">String</element>
</file>
<element attr="attr1"/>
<element attr="attr2">String</element>
</file>
import commands stax=stax reader=stax:newEventReader( file.xml ) while [ stax:hasNext( $reader START_ELEMENT ) ] ; do event=stax:nextEvent( $reader ) ; name=stax:getName( $event ) xtype $name echo $name done stax:closeReader $reader
