I use Input Director, a very good KVM style tool that has copy/paste among other neat little features. And it is free.

To add to what the others say, you need to sit down and work out exactly what you expect to generate form your XML data. The reason being that XML is a text-based hierarchically structured data format, and it can be all in a single line: newlines (or any other whitespace) are not required by the XML specification, and "individual items" in XML can span multiple lines of text without any change in the data it encapsulates or an entire array of objects can occupy a single line of text - that's problem number one! The second problem is that the data contained in the XML itself doesn't "lend itself" to a flat file output - which is what an unformatted text file contains. If you look at a "basic XML" file like this example: W3Schools CD Catalog[^] you can see that what it contains isn't readily useful as a text file unless you actually convert that to a formatted file of some form.

So you need to work out what is in the XML that you are interested in, and how you will "present" that in your resulting file - otherwise it's just a waste of your time and effort!

That's what I was hoping. As I told Daniel my primary interest is in code synthesis, so I'd be working with well defined processes for generating the code, but looking to generate it in a more refined manner.

LOL. I think that's the primary reason why I don't do C++ anymore. That and someone has to pick up my code and maintain it after I'm gone and it's easier to find a C# dev (or Java dev we can convert) than it is to find a C++ dev for the team I'm on.

It was a personal project, and I think I wasn't sure enough about it to make a github repo for it yet. It hadn't really matured to that point, or at least that was probably my reasoning at the time. Anyway, I found it after all. :) Check out my IoT graphics library here: https://honeythecodewitch.com/gfx And my IoT UI/User Experience library here: https://honeythecodewitch.com/uix

Made me associate to "Wondrous Machine", as played by l'Arpeggiata: Hail! Bright Cecilia, Z. 328 "Ode to St Cecilia": Aria. "Wondrous Machine" (Arr. Pluhar) - YouTube[^] I think this piece deserves to be played loudly. (This version - I wouldn't say so for more traditional versions.) Religious freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make five.

I would hate this. It would probably be good for me. I lean heavy on the whole fast build and see if it goes and correct what doesn't. I'm sure some could watch a recording and think it spaghetti chucking. Intellisense has gotten progressively worse with the verbosity of its descriptions because of the brigade against all code comments (maybe especially the XML ones). So you get method definitions from nugets where even if it's clear how you should call something, exactly what's going to happen when you do is a scientific endeavor of experimentation. Maybe it's exactly spaghetti chucking, but what other way is there to decode these black boxes?

I hate to think what they'd have said had it been carrying Roger's Profanisaurus[^] instead. :D "These people looked deep within my soul and assigned me a number based on the order in which I joined." - Homer

Have you tried on the main repository page pressing the period key? "." It will open up a VSCode browser instance. Once that comes up if you go into the run/debug icon there is a button to continue which will ask if you want to clone the repo and open it in desktop VSCode. I’ve given up trying to be calm. However, I am open to feeling slightly less agitated. I’m begging you for the benefit of everyone, don’t be STUPID.

Or a woman without a man... :) Freedom is the freedom to say that two plus two make four. If that is granted, all else follows. -- 6079 Smith W.
