The FOR EACH statement loops through a variable of type xmlReader in various ways:
  • Loop through a level.
  • Loop through a level with copy.
  • In-depth loop.
Note: The FOR EACH, FOR ALL statements are accepted. The FOR EACH statement will be used in this documentation but it can be replaced with FOR ALL.
Example
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<aa>
<bb>
Text1

<cc>
</cc>
</bb>
<bb>
<cc>
</cc>
</bb>
</aa>
// Parcours sur un niveau
// Lecteur est la variable correspondant au fichier XML
FOR EACH Lecteur
	// Lecture des balises début aa et fin aa
	FOR EACH Lecteur
		// Lecture des balises début bb, fin bb, début bb, fin bb
		FOR EACH Lecteur
		// Lecture de Text1 et des balises début cc, fin cc
		// début cc, fin cc
		END
	END
END
// Reader is the variable corresponding to the XML file
FOR EACH Reader IN-DEPTH
	// Read the start aa, start bb, text1, 
	// start cc, end cc, end bb, start bb,
	// start cc, end cc, end bb, end aa tags
END
Syntax

Iterating over the elements of the XML file on a level Hide the details

FOR EACH <XML Reader>
      FOR EACH <XML Reader>
    ...
      END
END
<FOR EACH>:
Marks the beginning of the statement block.
Used to iterate over the children of the current level.
<XML Reader>:
xmlReader variable corresponding to the XML file to loop through.
Inside the loop, the xmlReader variable points to the current XML element.
Note: It is possible to nest paths on the XML player.

Loop through a level with copy Hide the details

FOR EACH <Element> OF <XML Reader>
       FOR EACH <Element A> OF <Element>
        ...
       END
END
<FOR EACH>:
Marks the beginning of the statement block.
Used to iterate over the children of the current level.
<Element>:
Inside the loop, <Element> points to the current XML element. It can be used to perform a new FOR EACH loop to iterate over its children.
<XML Reader>:
xmlReader variable corresponding to the XML file to loop through.

In-depth loop Hide the details

FOR EACH <XML Reader> IN-DEPTH
      ...
END

FOR EACH <Element> OF <XML Reader> IN-DEPTH
      ...
END
<FOR EACH>:
Marks the beginning of the statement block.
Goes deep into the XML tree: traverses son, then grandson, then grandson's son to a leaf, continuing.
<Element>:
Inside the loop, <Element> points to the current XML element. Used to perform a reading in depth from an element.
<XML Reader>:
xmlReader variable corresponding to the XML file to loop through.
Remarks

Syntax 1: Traversing elements of the XML file on one level

This syntax is used to iterate over the children of the current level. Inside the loop, the xmlReader variable points to the current XML element.
You can nest loops on the xmlReader variable to iterate over the children of the element on the current level.

Syntax 2: Route on one level with copy

This syntax is used to iterate over the children of the current level. Inside the loop, <Element> points to the current XML element and it is possible to use it to perform another loop on its own children.
Note: It is possible to perform only one browse on the variable <Elément>.

Syntax 3: Depth travel

This syntax allows you to traverse the XML tree in depth, i.e. son, then grandson, ... until you reach a leaf. When the leaf is reached, the loop goes to the next child.

Loop through an XMLDocument variable

If the XML file is handled via a variable of type XMLDocument, you can loop through the data file directly.
For example:
// Utilisation de POUR TOUT <xmlNoeud> DE <xmlNoeud ou xmlDocument> 
// SUR <Nom de noeud> AVEC <CONDITION>

// Recherche de toutes les lignes de la facture avec un TVA à 20
