Hi, I have an xml file of about 140Mb like this:
<book> <record> ... <wordpartWTS>1</wordpartWTS> </record> <record> ... <wordpartWTS>2</wordpartWTS> </record> <record> ... <wordpartWTS>1</wordpartWTS> </record> </book> I want to traverse it from bottom to top and add another field to each record <totalWordPart>1</totalWordPart> which would give the highest value of wordpartWTS for each record for each word so if wordparts for the first ten records were 1 2 1 1 1 2 3 4 1 2 I want totalWordPart to be 2 2 1 1 4 4 4 4 2 2 I figure the easiest way to do this is to go thru the file backwards. Any ideas how to do this with an xml data file? Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
