Dear all

 

I am trying to build a parent-child array from an xml hierarchy.

So the array is {child value: parent value} eg {assault: crime}, {murder:crime}, {theft:crime} etc

I get the parent of a current node using par_node=cur_node->parent

 

but instead of giving me the name of the first element, its giving me all of the children as well.

 

What its giving me:

 

:0.000000: 0},{assault:

      crime

        murder

        computer_crime

        theft

        drug_trafficking

        sexual_assault

        assault

        torture

        kidnapping

        arson

        gang_activity

       

          criminal

          name

etc

 

What I would like:

{assault:crime}

 

Is there anyway I can just retrieve  the first name value ie crime?

 

Thank you for your help.
