# Some Chilkat XML Ruby examples utilize these online XML data samples:

# This example works with japanese.xml
xml = Chilkat::CkXml.new()
xml.LoadXmlFile("japanese.xml")

# This source file is Shift_JIS encoded...
# Loop over nodes having this tag: 業務名
strTag = Chilkat::CkString.new()
strTag.appendEnc("業務名","Shift_JIS")

# Indicate that string inputs should be utf-8
xml.put_Utf8(true)
strContent = Chilkat::CkString.new()
node = xml.SearchForTag(nil,strTag.getUtf8())
while (node != nil) 
	node.get_Content(strContent)
	# Redirect this output to a file.  DOS windows do not display utf-8 correctly.
	printf "%s: %s\n",strTag.getUtf8(),strContent.getUtf8()
	node = xml.SearchForTag(node,strTag.getUtf8())
