Description | Use the revXMLFirstChild function to begin scanning the
child nodes of a parent node.
If the revXMLFirstChild function encounters an error, it
returns an error message starting with "xmlerr".
Note: If the incText form is specified and is true the function will
return text nodes in processing. Text nodes can be accessed using the
revXMLNodeContents function with the extended path format where text
only nodes are numerically indexed eg summary/command/[1] is the first
text node of the summary/command node.
Important: The incText form is experimental.
Important: The revXMLFirstChild function is part of the
XML library. To ensure that the function works in a
standalone application, you must include this
custom library when you create your
standalone. In the Inclusions pane of the
Standalone Application Settings window, make sure the "XML"
checkbox is checked.
