How to read data from a Qlikview file?

[Anonymous]

Hi,

How qlikview governance dashoard reads meta data (like the Comment, Label etc) from a qlikview file? Is it reading from any XML file?

I am using Qlikview Personal edition. How to read the XML file of a qlikview file?

Please correct me if my understanding is wrong.

Thanks

Yes, your assume is right, as i know. but, 2nd question is

Load* from $(File) (XmlSimple, Table is

);

Anil,

I am looking for how to read the information from a Qlikview file itself. Example, the Qlikview governnace dashboard reads the information (such as Label of an expression, expression, comment given to a field etc) from a qlikview file. How that happens? If I want to read those kind of information from a qlikview, what is the process?

Some information are stored in plain text into the qvw. You can see them using notepad (++)
