Remove child feature? about aexml HOT 3 CLOSED

Hello,

it was originally created only for reading and writing XML, so it never crossed my mind that someone would use this to modify XML dynamically, but what the heck, I've added removeFromParent() method to AEXMLElement so now it can do that too, just pull the latest version.

Cheers,

As a workaround for the current lack of this feature, and for overwriting a child:

1. Convert the child you want to replace to a string with .xmlStringCompact
2. Same as (1) but with your new element
3. Convert your whole old AEXMLDocument to a string yet again with .xmlStringCompact
4. let newDoc = oldDoc.stringByReplacingOccurrencesOfString(oldElement, withString: newElement)
5. Convert your newDoc back into an AEXMLDocument and continue

from aexml.

Perfect!

Thank you so much, certainly more streamlined than my string replacement method. Thanks for the fast update.
