OK - this is another stupid question, which I hope somebody can help me with. 

 

I am trying to store data in an xml file, to use again after the game is reloaded. 

 

I have managed to use xmlWriter to write an xml file to store data 

 

Example xml created: 

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Parent>
       <Child1>String here</Child1>
       <Child2>Value here</Child2>
</Parent>

I am now trying to read that data back into the plugin.  I cannot for the life of me get it to work, and hours of googling and trying code all I have managed to do is find new and interesting ways to crash the game. 

 

I have tried examples of xmlReader as well as 

 

Can anybody help me get the value in Child1 into a string variable for me to use in the plugin? 

The declared path was "Plugins/LSPDFR/MyFile.xml"

 

While XML was being created correctly, it could not be read. Spotting the rookie mistake, and reversing my slashes fixed the read error. 

 

Now the path reads: "Plugins\\LSPDFR\\MyFile.xml" and the read works as well as write.
