Parsing XML with hyphen in node name?

Is it possible to parse XML when a node has a hyphen in the name?

for example:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<device>
<id type="integer">6</id>
<product>Roku</product>
<product-id>123abc</product-id>
<auth-token>TKMWhuagCU9C6f68u76ryw</auth-token>
<user-id type="integer">2</user-id>
<created-at type="datetime">2011-12-28T18:54:36Z</created-at>
<updated-at type="datetime">2011-12-28T18:54:36Z</updated-at>
</device>


If I create a <Component: roXMLElement> from this body as the variable "xml" I get the following:


BrightScript Debugger> print xml.id.GetText()
6
BrightScript Debugger> print xml.auth-token.GetText()
'Dot' Operator attempted with invalid BrightScript Component or interface reference. (runtime error &hec) in $LIVECOMPILE(32)

Re: Parsing XML with hyphen in node name?

You need to use xml.GetNamedElements("auth-token") to access nodes with special characters in their name.
