Hi,
I have encountered some issues trying to create a user-defined function that will map an XML file that has complex type elements that can recursively contain themselves to an infinite depth.
I have looked at the recursive search guide on the Altova website and it gave some help however it seems to solve the issue of filtering elements in a nested structuring but not mapping them to a non nested form.
The input I have is a XML file which can have multiple 'BuildingPart' elements that can further contain these elements. I want to output a list of all 'BuildingPart' elements in an excel spreadsheet where each row has the attributes of one element. Also ideally there would be a second tab in the sheet that contains ID's of directly linked parent-child BuildingParts. I can't figure out how to go from the nested XML structure to a list of all elements.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Jericho

If you could attach some example files (as well as whatever mapping you have so far) to your original post that would be helpful.

An example mapping named "FlattenHierarchy.mfd" is shipped with MapForce; maybe you can use it as a guidance.
