Hi to all members of this list, i'm trying to parse an XML file and it seems that it's not very straightforward. I managed to get to the node that has a lot of sub nodes with similar format, i.e. : $Purchase <Purchase> <Price>-2000.1</Price> <Volume>29510.27</Volume> </Purchase> $Purchase <Purchase> <Price>-2000</Price> <Volume>29507.26</Volume> </Purchase> I was wondering what is the way to process it in the fast and efficient way, i.e. not by looping through each sub-node.
