I'm getting XML input that looks like this
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<data1>this is data 1</data1>
<data2>this is data 2</data2>
<data3>
<3a>this is data 3a</3a>
<3b>this is data 3b</3b>
<3c>
<TextFlow xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008">
<p direction="ltr" >
<span>some text</span>
<span>some additional text</span>
</p>
<p direction="ltr">
<span>some text</span>
<span>some additional text</span>
</p>
</TextFlow>
</3c>
</data3>
I can read <data1>
with event.result.data1
which outputs a string this is data1
But when I do the same thing to event.result.data3.3c
, it prints object [object]
so I guess it's trying to dig deeper into the tree. But I need the actual string text (not xml tree) starting from and including <TextFlow></TextFlow>
to be stored and printed as a string. Any idea what's the syntax for this?
The string I'm looking for would look like this:
<TextFlow xmlns="http://ns.adobe.com/textLayout/2008">
<p direction="ltr" >
<span>some text</span>
<span>some additional text</span>
</p>
<p direction="ltr">
<span>some text</span>
<span>some additional text</span>
</p>
</TextFlow>
