Export to an XML file
Datacap can export data to an XML file by using the actions in the ExportXML action library.
The ExportXML library includes actions that you can use to write data to an XML file. Some of the export actions are described in the following table.
| Library | Action | Description |
|---|---|---|
| ExportXML | xml_SetExportPath | Specifies the path to the XML file storage location. |
| ExportXML | xml_SetFileName | Specifies the name for the XML file (do not include the .xml extension). |
| ExportXML | xml_NewNode | Creates a child node under the specified parent node, creating the parent node if necessary. |
| ExportXML | xml_SetFileEncodingAsASCII | Specifies whether to export files in ANSI format. If you do not add this action, files are exported in Unicode format by default. |
| ExportXML | xml_SetNodeValue | Sets the value of the specified node. |
| ExportXML | xml_SaveFile | Commits all unsaved nodes and saves the XML file to disk. |
