how to assign XML values to string in Vb6

Question

I want to assign below mentioned xml values to a string like this

Dim test As String

test = ... ?

Where the XML should contain:

      <RptVer>1</RptVer>

      <RptTyp>1</RptTyp>

    </RptInfo>

</InstRptRoot>

How can I do this and also preserve the formatting (ie linebreaks, spacing, etc.)?

test = "<RptInfo><RptVer>1</RptVer><RptTyp>1</RptTyp></RptInfo>" ? — MarkL

Mark answered your question, I'll answer your second question:

Dim test As String

test = "<RptInfo>" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
       vbTab & "<RptVer>1</RptVer>" & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
       vbTab & "<RptTyp>1</RptTyp> & vbCrLf & vbCrLf & _
      "</RptInfo>"

Assuming you want it double-spaced and indented. You had also missed the leading tag, but MarkL caught that as well.

It can also be worth mentioning that xml processing wise, the CrLf and Tabs are not necessary. They only make it more human readable.
