saving proXML files to a different directory
Jan 18th, 2009, 8:17pm  
Hi

does anyone know how to save the xml-file with proXML to a different path than the data folder? if I provide the saveElement() function an absolute path, like
Code:
/Users/maf/Arbeiten/code/Px1m0dBridge/data/test.xml

it saves it in
Code:
/Users/maf/Arbeiten/code/Px1m0dBridge/data/Users/maf/Arbeiten/code/Px1m0dBridge/data/test.xml


one possibility would be to save it into the data folder anyway, and then move it to the target directory. but in order to make the code portable, i would need the absolute path to the data-folder.

any ideas?

Try this

../test.xml

This should get you up one directory from data. using .. should let you move around the file system from the starting point of the data directory.
