I have this game data written in xml format.
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>

I need to parse it and take out all events called 'death'. Then I need to access every element in that 'death' section. Could you please help me with that?
Assuming that events can only contain a tag called death you can easily do this:
import xml.etree.cElementTree as ET
tree = ET.ElementTree(file='your_game_events.xml')
for event in tree.iter(tag = 'death'):
for child in event:
print "%s: %s" % (child.tag, child.text)

I have xml file like this
Input XML:
<India>
<state>
<name>Karnataka</name>
<description>One State Many Worlds</description>
<population></population>
</state>
<state>
<name>Kerala</name>
<description> Gods own country</description>
<population></population>
</state>
</India>
and, I process the data(process code/data not included for simplicity).
code:
import xml.dom.minidom
from xml.dom.minidom import Node
doc = xml.dom.minidom.parse("india.xml")
doc.writexml(open('NewData.xml', 'w'))
doc.unlink()
Here is the output XML:
<?xml version="1.0" ?><India>
<state>
<name>Karnataka</name>
<description>One State Many Worlds</description>
<population/>
</state>
<state>
<name>Kerala</name>
<description> Gods own country</description>
<population/>
</state>
</India>
As you can see node is "half removed" in the out file.
Need help to tackle this issue. thanks!
I'm using the documentation here to try to get only the values (address , mask ) for certain elements.
This is an example of the structure of my XML:

Working off this example in the documentation, I've tried something like this:
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
tree = ET.parse("C:\\Users\\Redha\\Documents\\test_network\\interface123.xml")
root = tree.getroot()
for i in root.findall('native'):
print(i.tag)
But it returns nothing . I've tried other things to no success. Any ideas? All advice appreciated. Thank you!
Consider using namespaces when referencing XML elements:
import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
# declare XML namespaces
namespaces = {'native': 'http://cisco.com/ns/yang/Cisco-IOS-XE-native'}
tree = ET.parse("C:\\Users\\Redha\\Documents\\test_network\\interface123.xml")
root = tree.getroot()
# call findall() using previously created namespaces map
for i in root.findall('.//native:native', namespaces):
print(i.tag)
I'm totally new to XML and I'm stuck on how to append children to a root node of an already exisitng XML file using Python and XML DOM. Right now I have this script to create an output file:
from xml.dom.minidom import Document
doc = Document()
root_node = doc.createElement("notes") # Root
doc.appendChild(root_node)
object_node = doc.createElement("data") # Child
root_node.appendChild(object_node)
object_node.setAttribute("a_version", "something_v001.0001.ma") # Set attributes
object_node.setAttribute("b_user", "Me")
object_node.setAttribute("c_comment", "comment about file")
xml_file = open("C:/Temp/file_notes.xml", "w") # Append
xml_file.write(doc.toprettyxml())
xml_file.close()
This gives me an output file that looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<notes>
<data a_version="Me" b_user="something_v001.0001.ma" c_comment="comment about file"/>
</notes>
I'd like to append future data to this file so it will look something like this after 2 additional versions:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<notes>
<data a_version="something_v001.0001.ma" b_user="Me" c_comment="comment about file"/>
<data a_version="something_v001.0002.ma" b_user="You" c_comment="minor save"/>
<data a_version="something_v002.0003.ma" b_user="Them" c_comment="major save"/>
</notes>
But every attempt I make at appending data comes out like this:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<notes>
<data a_version="Me" b_user="something_v001.0001.ma" c_comment="comment about file"/>
</notes>
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<notes>
<data a_version="Me" b_user="something_v001.0001.ma" c_comment="comment about file"/>
</notes>
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<notes>
<data a_version="Me" b_user="something_v001.0001.ma" c_comment="comment about file"/>
</notes>
If anyone has any alternative methods to accomplish this task by using ElementTree that would be appreciated as well. There seem to be a lot more resources, but I'm not sure how to implement the solution with Maya. Thanks!
You haven't shown us any code demonstrating "every attempt I make at appending data". But never mind, here is how you can use ElementTree to append new elements to an existing XML file.
from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET
from xml.dom import minidom
# Assume that we have an existing XML document with one "data" child
doc = ET.parse("file_notes.xml")
root = doc.getroot()
# Create 2 new "data" elements
data1 = ET.Element("data", {"a_version": "something_v001.0002.ma",
"b_user": "You",
"c_comment": "minor save"})
data2 = ET.Element("data", {"a_version": "something_v001.0003.ma",
"b_user": "Them",
"c_comment": "major save"})
# Append the new "data" elements to the root element of the XML document
root.append(data1)
root.append(data2)
# Now we have a new well-formed XML document. It is not very nicely formatted...
out = ET.tostring(root)
# ...so we'll use minidom to make the output a little prettier
dom = minidom.parseString(out)
print dom.toprettyxml()
Output:
<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<notes>
<data a_version="Me" b_user="something_v001.0001.ma" c_comment="comment about file"/>
<data a_version="something_v001.0002.ma" b_user="You" c_comment="minor save"/>
<data a_version="something_v001.0003.ma" b_user="Them" c_comment="major save"/>
</notes>
ElementTree does not have a built-in pretty-printer, so we use minidom for that. The output contains some superfluous whitespace, but it is better than what ElementTree can provide.
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<info>
</tags>
</tags>
<area>
<media>
<options>
<name>Jaipur</name>
</options>
</media>
</area>
</info>
i am totaly new in python, here is my xml file and i want to edit element value at run time in python
it means I want to change the <name>Jaipur</name> to <name>Mumbai</name>
First, the example is not valid xml. You can use xml.etree that comes included:
from xml.etree import ElementTree as et
xmlstr="""\
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<area>
<media>
<options>
<name>Jaipur</name>
</options>
</media>
</area>"""
doc=et.fromstring(xmlstr)
doc.find('.//name').text='Mumbai'
print et.tostring(doc)
output:
<area>
<media>
<options>
<name>Mumbai</name>
</options>
</media>
</area>
I have an xml file as follows:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" DefaultTargets="Build" ToolsVersion="4.0">
<Import Project="$(VCTargetsPath)\Microsoft.Cpp.targets" />
<ImportGroup Label="ExtensionTargets">
</ImportGroup>
</Project>
I want to add a line <Import Project="$(ProjectName).targets" /> between
</ImportGroup> and </Project> as follows
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Project xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/developer/msbuild/2003" DefaultTargets="Build" ToolsVersion="4.0">
<Import Project="$(VCTargetsPath)\Microsoft.Cpp.targets" />
<ImportGroup Label="ExtensionTargets">
</ImportGroup>
<Import Project="$(ProjectName).targets" />
</Project>
If the line <Import Project="$(ProjectName).targets" /> already exists in file there is no need to add.
How can I do that?
Your question is based on lines in text files, but the input file is clearly XML, so assuming you actually want to add an Import if it doesn't exist, try this:
import xml.dom.minidom
importstring = "$(Projectname).targets"
filename = "test.xml"
tree = xml.dom.minidom.parse(filename)
Project = tree.getElementsByTagName("Project")[0]
for Import in Project.getElementsByTagName("Import"):
if Import.getAttribute("Project") == importstring:
break
else: # note this is else belongs to the for, not the if
newImport = xml.dom.minidom.Element("Import")
newImport.setAttribute("Project", importstring)
Project.appendChild(newImport)
tree.writexml(open(filename, 'w'))
Take the XML parser of your choice, parse the file, manipulate the file using the related API, write it back.
