Parse and output XML
Hello all,
I'm trying to build an address look up app from xml files provided from postcodeanywhere.co.uk. I know I need to execute a lookup query with cfhttp and then parse it but I need some help on how to output the address options... I keep on running into a multitude of errors. The format of the xml files can be viewed here: http://www.postcodeanywhere.co.uk/downloads/developer/samples/xml_examples.doc
Can anyone provide me with some pointers for the first two xml docs detailed?
Cheers, P

First off sorry to INSDivision6 for not replying to your request for more information sooner, I was away on a long weekend and didn't have a chance to reply.
Secondly big thanks to Tacobell777 for understanding what I was whittering on about. Yes it makes perfect sense to me, it was how to reference the "xmlRoot.Data.Item" bit that was really throwing me.
Also to anyone that finds this post later I inserted the cfhttp request with <cfhttp url="#urlAddress#" method="GET" timeout="15"> I then changed the first instance of "variables.myXMLString" to "cfhttp.filecontent" and later referneces to "objXML"
Many thanks Tacobell777, I'm beginning to get my head round XML with Coldfusion, one big "A" to you!
