Hello All,

I have an XML file containing this
<properties>
<property key="ABC">
<value xml:lang="de">Description de</value>
<value xml:lang="en">Description en</value>
</property>
<property key="XYZ">
<value xml:lang="de">Description de</value>
<value xml:lang="en">Description en</value>
</property>
</properties>

I made a code to add a new <value> tag to each <property>.
The part of code is:

require "rexml/document"
include REXML
...
...
pval = Element.new("value")
pval.add_attribute("xml:lang","fr")
pval.add_text("Description fr")
fproperty.elements << pval
fproperty is the node object

My final XML file looks like this:

<properties>
<property key="ABC">
<value xml:lang="de">Description de</value>
<value xml:lang="en">Description en</value>
<value xml:lang="fr">Description fr</value></property>
<property key="XYZ">
<value xml:lang="de">Description de</value>
<value xml:lang="en">Description en</value>
<value xml:lang="fr">Description fr</value></property>
</properties>

One "TAB" is inserted for each 4 spaces which were in the original file.
How to avoid this?
And how to add a CR to the new element?

Thanks for your help, I'm a very newby

I think, you will have to create your own formatter - or use a
different one for output. You'll find some explanation in the REXML
documentation.

Kind regards

Thank you Robert for your reply.
I am willing to write my own formatter but despite I read some REXML
docs, I don't know where to begin. :-D

This is really my first day with ruby;
concerning REXML I'll be happy to be pointed to some samples.

In advance Thanks to All,

Charles
