Saving the modifications in the XML file

To save the modifications performed in an XML file, you must:

Use XMLBuildString. This function retrieves and formats the content of an XML document.
Save the character string generated by XMLBuildString in an XML file. To do so, use fSaveText.

Example:

// Once the XML document was modified
XMLSource = XMLBuildString("XMLDoc")
// Save the XML file
fSaveText("ModifiedExample.xml", XMLSource)
