How to use the XML-related functions provided by the flexsim script help

[jiaqzhao]

[ FlexSim 22.2.4 ]

Hello, I have found out that there are some XML functions in the help documentation of flexsim. such as below, I have put them into my script, but it generates an error as it cannot be recognized during the debugging, do I need to declare something at the beginning of my script? Thank you!

XML.Document doc = XML.loadFile("test.xml");
XML.Element root = doc.root;
XML.Element element = root.first;

My guess is you need to specify an absolute path to the file you want to open. If the xml file is in the same directory as the model, I would use the modeldir() command:

XML.Document doc = XML.loadFile(modeldir() + "test.xml");

Thank you for your answer. I already used the absolute path, and the error is "Unknown type XML.Document in declaration of variable doc". It seems the software does not understand the meaning of "XML.Document". Do you know how to make the function understood by the software?

The XML API was only added in version 23.1.

Yes, you are right, this is a matter of software version. Thank you very much!
