# acioFindFirstOccurrenceFromRoot

Call the `acioFindFirstOccurrenceFromRoot` function to locate the first occurrence of the specified tag in an XML result.

## Syntax

    t_aciObject* acioFindFirstOccurrenceFromRoot (
       t_aciObject* pObject,
       char* szTag)

## Arguments

Arguments | Type/Description
--- | ---
`pObject` | `t_aciObject*` A pointer to an `ACI_DATA` object that is part of an XML result.
`szTag` | `char*` A pointer to the requested tag.

## Discussion

This function finds the first occurrence of the specified `szTag` in the XML structure represented by `pObject`, searching only in `pObject` itself and its child object tree. If it does not find the specified `szTag`, it does not search `pObject` siblings.

You can call this function only for an `ACI_DATA` type ACI object.

## Returns

A pointer to the tag’s contents or `NULL` if the tag is not found.
