How to replace a child node in a XML file?

Hi,

I have the following XML file (assume it's file name is moose.xml):

Is there a way I can take all the content of "ModuleType Name="AlignmentCorrectionHelper" (2nd Node) and replace it with FULLY with the content of "ModuleType Name=AlarmManager" (1st node).

Important to say, that the 1st node , AlarmManager could have several layers depths inside one of it's parameters.Of course I'd like to take it all.

I saw there is a method of replaceChild here:

I'm just not so sure how to use it in my usecase.

THANKS,

Mark

Hello Mark,

It is my understanding of the question that you want to perform a replacement operation between two different XML files.

This can be achieved using the importNode function that imports a node from one XML document to another.
