I don't know the function, but I seem to remember seeing code that was something of the nature of "find xml by userid" and it would search for either the userid or the alias. You could use that, and then grab the 'id' attribute from the resulting object. -- Nathan On 10/10/2013 07:26 PM, Lloyd Aloysius wrote:

Hi All,

Can someone tell me which c function that i can use to get user id from number-alias.

I have the user directory like this <user id="tony" number-alias="1001">

I know the number-alias and want to find the user-id. I could not find any in the source.

Thank you Lloyd
