Modify XML panels with CONTROL

[buec]

I have to modify XML panels with CONTROL. When I save the panels with fputs, the line endings are changed from LF to CR/LF. When I use xmlDocumentToFile, the line endings are preserved as LF but empty XML elements are shortened.

Variant 1:

Code: Select all

fileToString( sPath, sFileData );
// replace icon path in sFileDate
file f = fopen( sPath, "w+" );
fputs( sFileData, f );
fclose( f );

Line endings are changed from LF to CR/LF

Variant 2:

Code: Select all

fileToString( sPath, sFileData );
// replace icon path in sFileDate
int iDocId = xmlDocumentFromString( sFileData, errMsg, errLine, errColumn );
xmlDocumentToFile( iDocId, sPath );

Empty XML elements are shortened. Example:
Gedi: <prop name="Value"></prop>
CTRL: <prop name="Value"/>

Any idea how I can save XML panels in the same formatting as the Gedi does?

In the past I have modified XML panels using CTRL scripts using fileToString() to read the file and fputs() to save the file.
The panels were working afterwards and I did not see a problem when editing/opening them again in WinCC OA.
