Hi - I'm hoping to get some guidance
I am trying to parse a structure that looks like:
{urn:FindingImport}TOOL - GD
{urn:FindingImport}TOOL_VERSION - 2.0.8.8
{urn:FindingImport}AUTHENTICATED_FINDING - TRUE
{urn:FindingImport}GD_VUL_NAME - Rename Built-in Guest Account
{urn:FindingImport}GD_SEVERITY - 2
{urn:FindingImport}FINDING - None
{urn:FindingImport}FINDING_ID - V0001115
{urn:FindingImport}FINDING_STATUS - NF
{urn:FindingImport}TOOL - GD
{urn:FindingImport}TOOL_VERSION - 2.0.8.8
{urn:FindingImport}AUTHENTICATED_FINDING - TRUE
{urn:FindingImport}GD_VUL_NAME - Rename Built-in Administrator Account
{urn:FindingImport}GD_SEVERITY - 2
{urn:FindingImport}FINDING - None
{urn:FindingImport}FINDING_ID - V0001117
This is the result when the original data is run through 'for element in
root.iter():' as described in the lxml tutorial. This structure repeats
many times in the document with different values after each tag. I want
to take the values and place them in one csv line for each structure in
the file. The closest I have come is something like (but doesn't work):
for element in root.iter("{urn:FindingImport}TOOL"):
print element.text
print element.getnext().text
print element.getnext().text
The initial print element.tag and the first element.getnext().text work as
I would like, but I am not finding a way to parse past that. The second
element.getnext().text returns the value for the same tag as the one prior
to it. I know I am missing something, but don't see it. Any assistance
is appreciated.
Thanks,
marc
