Is there an easy way to create a folder structure output from an XML

  • 0

Is there an easy way to create a folder structure output from an XML input. Below is a sample of the XML input I am trying to parse:

  <file name="tmpFile1" path="{{Base}}\folder1\V1\Samples\DotNet\C#\VS2005\tmpFolder1" />
  <file name="tmpFile2" path="{{Base}}\folder1\V2\Samples\DotNet\C#\VS2005\tmpFolder2" />

Hoping I can get an output like with Windows Folders (with Base=C:):

    As in…UI output? You might want to be more specific and supply what language you’re working with.

    If you’re just interested in opening an explorer window, you could call explorer with particular arguments: http://www.mydigitallife.info/2009/02/07/command-line-switches-to-display-special-objects-or-folders-when-opening-windows-explorer/

    In their example, calling %SystemRoot%\explorer.exe /N,%WinDir%\System32,/Select,%WinDir%\System32\Ping.exe will open System32 in the left pane and focus on Ping.exe in the right pane.

    If you mean constructing a file tree explorer in a particular language or UI framework, I’m afraid you’ll have to actually specify which one you’re working in. 🙂
