Iterate through xml elements vb cs2

Question

Does anyone know how to iterate through xml elements without xml rules (unfortunately I have to do this project with cs2). I've heard it's hard and slow to iterate through each element in cs2.

Answer 1

Here is a script I find useful. It recursively iterates over indesign xml structure and invokes a function on each node.
HTH,
=========================================================
function invokeFunctionOnNode(parentNode, func) {
var pNode = parentNode;
//Call on Parent Node
func(pNode);
var elementCount = 0;
try{
elementCount = pNode.xmlElements.length;
}catch(ex){}
if (elementCount > 0) {
var ctr = 0;
for (var elem = 0 ; elem < elementCount; elem++) {
var currentNode = pNode.xmlElements.item(elem);
func(currentNode);
try {
if (currentNode.xmlElements.length > 0) {
invokeFunctionOnNode(currentNode, func) ;
} catch(ex) {}
