4.1.11.2.9 GetElementCDATA

GetElementCDATA function


Prototype:

function GetElementCDATA: string;

Description:

The GetElementCDATA function returns the value of the specified XML element (i.e. the text between the opening and the closing tag of the element) as a string (provided it is a valid CDATA value). Note: A CDATA section starts with "<![CDATA[" and ends with "]]>". Everything inside a CDATA section is ignored by the parser. This means that XML reserved signs (angle brackets, "&") can be freely used inside a CDATA section without any effect on the XML file.

Syntax:

variable := TScriptXMLElement.GetElementCDATA;
