Hello,

tried to find some helpful Informations here in the Forum and at Google. Unfortunally without Success.
So, i want to ask here, if it is possible to read Data from a XML File and assign them to Variables in a LUA Script?
An Example Code would also be highly appreciated.
 

Thanks in Advance and Greets from Germany

I can't help you any more than google can with this. There seem to be various lua xml libraries available, so I don't think it would be too much of a problem, and you can maybe read as a txt file if you can determine where the data you require is held without parsing the xml.  But I don't have time to look into this any further, sorry.

I just read such files as simple text files, and use the Lua string library to search for the keywords I'm interested in. The standard Lua string library contains all of the functions you'll need.

I'm afraid I've never investigated operating XML files with an XML editor or handler.
