Hi, I can't do something with Python and XML.
i have the following file;
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8" standalone="yes"?> <test> <content> Hello </content> <content> <b> Hello </b> </content> </test>
Ok. it is simple :)
And i have the following python codes;
#!/usr/bin/python from xml.dom import minidom
file = open("test.xml","r") xml = minidom.parse(file) print xml.childNodes[0].getElementsByTagName("content")[0].firstChild.data print xml.childNodes[0].getElementsByTagName("content")[1].firstChild.data
Again simple one :)
But when i run these codes, i have the following output; Hello
How can i access the second one.
DOM is not very good for this sort of thing. You could do:
print xml.getElementsByTagName("content")[0].firstChild.data print xml.getElementsByTagName("content")[1].getElementsByTagName ("b").firstChild.data
But that's silly :-)
More useful thoughts below...
Yes, i know it contains html tags so it doesn't give me the result.
Your b element happens to have the same name as one used in HTML, but that doesn't really make it an HTML tag. In this case, it's clearly an XML tag.
I wanna get whole of the content as data. How can i do this?
Use something like the string_value function, listing 5 of the following article:
http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2003/01/08/py-xml.html
Or use something with XPath support, which makes this easy. Using Amara ( http://www.xml.com/pub/a/2005/01/19/amara.html ), your code would be
from amara import binderytools doc = binderytools.bind_file("test.xml") print doc.xml_xpath(u'string(//content[1])') print doc.xml_xpath(u'string(//content[2])')
Which prints
Hello
Hello
Thanks. But i want the output as the following;
Hello <b> Hello </b>
