Can someone here share some Python code that will parse the XML file mentioned above, possibly clean up any garbage, and save the results as .txt or .csv? Thanks!! Hey, you can use argparse or xml tree in python and you can save it any where in any format. its really work.. see the examples and try to figure out the code -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
Re: Parse xml file
XML is a structured file. I never knew you can read it line by line and process. iterparse() More info on iterparse(): http://effbot.org/zone/element-iterparse.htm On Thu, Aug 27, 2009 at 10:39 AM, Stefan Behnelstefan...@behnel.de wrote: loial wrote: Is there a quick way to retrieve data from an xml file in python 2.4, rather than read the whole file? ElementTree is available as an external package for Py2.4 (and it's in the stdlib xml.etree package since 2.5). It's pretty much the easiest way to get data out of XML files. If your statement rather than read the whole file was referring to the file size, note that the C implementation cElementTree of ElementTree is very memory efficient, so you might still get away with just reading the whole file into memory. There's also the iterparse() function which supports iterative parsing of an XML file and thus allows intermediate cleanup of used data.

Universal Feed parser can do the job for you. This can be imported and used in your python programs.
