I’d like to travese the contents of an xml.collected() in a reverse order. I have
for connectionFromXML in xml.collected(viewFromXML,"/connection") do
parseXMLConnection( rootFromXML, connectionFromXML, viewFromXML, rootFromOverrideXML)
end
I tried:
local relationTable = xml.collected(viewFromXML,"/connection")
for i=#relationTable, 1, -1 do
connectionFromXML = relationTable[i]
parseXMLConnection( rootFromXML, connectionFromXML, viewFromXML, rootFromOverrideXML)
end
But apparently my lua knowledge is lacking (severely, I might say) as this ends with “attempt to get length of a function value “
What is the correct way to do it?

it's an iterator

xml.all

Tried to find documentation, but failed.
Tried this:
local relationTable = xml.all(viewFromXML,"/connection")
for i=#relationTable, 1, -1 do
connectionFromXML = relationTable[i]
parseXMLConnection( rootFromXML, connectionFromXML, viewFromXML, rootFromOverrideXML)
end
but it fails as well.

It had been awhile, so for the record.
I was looking for something similar and found out that adding a third
argument to the xml.collected reverses the iterations. Looks like the
argument has to be true in a boolean sense, so puting any "string" there
will do the trick.
for v in xml.collected(doc, "/chapter/section", "string") do
...
end
