Hi Rafal,


 


You may reload the stored XML Checkpoint in the following way:


//JScript


 // Load data from MyFile1.xml to MyXMLCheckpoint


 XML.MyXMLCheckpoint.Document.load("C:\MyFolder1\MyFile1.xml");


 //Compare the loaded data against MyFile2.xml


 XML.MyXMLCheckpoint.Check("C:\MyFolder2\MyFile2.xml");


 


You can use another way - modify the xml content in the XML Checkpoint before comparing. Here is an example:


//JScript


  var xmlData = Sys.OleObject("Msxml2.DOMDocument.4.0");


  xmlData.async = false;


  xmlData = XML.MyXMLCheckpoint.Document;


  var nodes = xmlData.selectNodes("//node_to_change");


  for(var i = 0; i < nodes.length; i++)


  { 


    nodes.item(i).childNodes.item(0).data = "<new data>";


  }
