Thanks.
I need to read in a GPX file, remove all occurences of the "<time>"
element, regardless of what they contain, and write back the edited data:
======
import lxml.etree as et
def remove(root, tag, text):
items = root.xpath(f'.//{tag}')
for item in items:
if item.text == text:
parent = item.getparent()
parent.remove(item)
return root
tree = et.parse("input.gpx")
remove(tree,"time","")
#Still here
print(et.tostring(tree, pretty_print=True))
with open("output.gpx", 'wb') as doc:
doc.write(et.tostring(tree, pretty_print = True))
======
I'll read up on element.iter, element.iterdescendants, etc.

Also look at element.iter, element.iterdescendants, etc.

Hello,
I'm only getting started with (l)xml, and was curious to know if
someone had an example of how to remove all items in an XML file that
match the following string:
^\t*<ele>100.25</ele>\r\n
Thank you.
