change xml node name

[bogdanf]

Hello!

I have a basic XML file and I want to change the first node name from 'report_202107' to 'report'.

I.ve tried to read XML file and assign XMLDocument.Children[0].Name = 'report' but no success.

It is possible to do so?

Thanks

<report_202107>
  <Records>
    <Year>2019</Year>
    <Month>Aug 2019</Month>
    <DOT>0</DOT>
  </Records>
  <Records>
    <Year>2019</Year>
    <Month>Aug 2019</Month>
    <DOT>4</DOT>
  </Records>
</report_202107>

Hi @bogdanf 

If the existing actions of PAD are not working then read the full string of the xml file, replace the text <report_202107> to <report> and write back the replaced string to the file.
