Question regarding dots in value

[PatrickB100]

Hi Gcharita,

• I'm having the following issue, a have a mapping where i have a dot in between a single value. Is this a bug or not? if so, is there a workaround?

This code is not working, there is a dot in the middle of LINE.NAME

func mapping(map: XMLMap) {
            lineName <- map["LINE.NAME"]

This code is fully working. There is no dot in the middle of LINENAME

func mapping(map: XMLMap) {
            lineName <- map["LINENAME"]

thanks in advance,

Patrick

@PatrickB100 this occurs because of the nested mapping feature. By default dot is the delimiter used to separate the XML element names.

If you have elements with a dot in the name you can override this delimiter (with something that does not appear in the element name) using subscript(key:delimiter:) function of XMLMap like so:

func mapping(map: XMLMap) {
    // use "@" for delimiter
    lineName <- map["LINE.NAME", delimiter: "@"]
}
