XML

When the boss asks "Can you do ..." I am programmed to say "Sure".
This time it was "Can you make XML like this (an example) from our
.DBF images?". I said "Sure" and I'm sure I can. But I have not done
any xml before and I might be creating a new wheel.

Is there prior art in Clipper for .xml creation?

Thanks.

Joe,

I don't know about Clipper add-ons.  Foxpro can take a clipper dbf and
create XML.  I think my report writer, R&R, can do it also.

I suspect that Vouch32 could do it.  I would ask Pritpal.

XML, is just a convention based on standard text file. You should be able to
produce valid xml with standard Clipper, using typical loops to construct a
string of the requested info, padded with the appropriate pre/postfix as per
xml specifications you want to support.

FWIW, xHarbour has XML class to automate the above process.
