Combining User Files

[tatteredking]

I've got two user files that I am trying to detyermine if there is an easy way to combine them. I'm not a programmer and don't know a lot about XML, but it looks like one could conceivably cut and paste the guts of one file into the other.

Just wondering if there is an easier way to combine files.

nope, thats the way to do it. Just make sure you cup and paste at the correct places.

and that will be the fun part....lol

so true. i think its just a couple of lines at the top and then again at the bottom. its not as bad as it looks.

The correct places for cutting and pasting are:

Every .user file begins with:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>
<document signature="Hero Lab Data"/>

and ends with:

</document>

Make sure you don't duplicate either of those elements, and that the material you're adding gets in before the closing </document> tag.

If you're only copying some of what you've created, and not all of them, each of the things you've defined will begin with:

<thing

and end with:

</thing>

So make sure you copy those elements and all the data between them.
