Hello,
I am a xml parsing newbie and I am having a hard time because I am so new.
I am trying to parse:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<server>
<config>
<threads>100</threads>
<runs>1</runs>
<duration>200</duration>
<process>400</process>
<rampup>500</rampup>
</config>
</server>
I want to grab the value of threads which is 100, runs which is 1,
duration
which is 200, process which is 400, and rampup which is 500.
Here is my febal attempt at getting the values between the tags:
import xml.dom.minidom
import sys
class textHandler:
def parseFile(self):
tags =
xml.dom.minidom.parse("/home/grinder/grinder-3.0.1/data/reportsInfo.txt")
serverelements = tags.getElementsByTagName ( 'server' )
for server in serverelements:
print server.childNodes[0].data
x = textHandler()
x.parseFile()
Can anyone help?
Under the DOM model, the first child node in <server> is a text node
containing the whitespace between <server> and <config>. If you know there
is only one threads element under each server you can use:
for server in serverelements:
print server.getElementsByTagName('threads')[0].childNodes[0].data
But you will probably find ElementTree a much more useful xml library:
from xml.etree import ElementTree
tree = ElementTree.parse("/home/grinder/grinder-3.0.1/data/reportsInfo.txt")
print tree.find('config/threads').text
