Hi all,

I'm trying to use the XMLRuleProcessor for getting the elements directly by giving the x-path using Visual basic6.0.I have tried working on the below code,

xpath="//para"
Set rulesProcessor = myIndesign.XMLRuleProcessors.Add(xpath)

but its returning the error as,
"Invalid value for parameter 'RulePaths' of event 'Add'. Expected Array of Strings, but received "//para".

Then i have delcared the array as
"Dim arr(5) as string"
and passed the array value "xpath=arr(0)" but still i'm not able to solve this problem. I really don know what its expecting to give. Does Anyone has any idea about this?

Thanks,
Jacintha.

if you declare variable as Array of Strings but you send as param first element of this Variable - you still send String - not whole Array

  Dim xpath(5) as string
  
  xpath(0)="//para"
  Set rulesProcessor = myIndesign.XMLRuleProcessors.Add(xpath)

but I don't know how XMLRuleProcessor work :(

Hi Robert,

I have tried your code. But still its not working. The error "Adobe Indesign cannot process xpath expression '//para' " has occured.
