Hi,

I am looking for an efficient way to check if an XML has an element, and if the element does not exist, add it.

Here is an example:
MyFile.xml:
<?xml version="1.0" standalone="yes" ?>
<Setting>
   <MyElement1>123</MyElement1>
</Setting>
Say, I want to find if this file (e.g. MyFile.xml) has element "MyElement2". And if not, add it.
I can do it with FILETOSTRING(), STRTOFILE(), and STREXTRACT() functions. But I am not sure if this is the most efficient approach.

Any suggestions? TIA
