I'm playing with XML and elementtree and am missing something but I'm
not sure what...? I've create an XML file with Elementtree with a root
of backup.xml. Attached to the root is a dirob and the dirobj has a
fileobj. fileobj has filename and filesize tags. I can open the file
in excel and it sets out the columns as I would expect. The problem
I'm having is parsing the file. Using..
>>> file = open('c:\\scripts\\backup.xml', "r")
>>> tree = parse(file)
>>> elem = tree.getroot()
>>> elem.findtext('filesize')
Doesn't return anything, infact I can't seem to find anything
regardless of what I search for.
Here is the XML. I've got a list of files and their containing
directories and I want my python script to append to the XML file each
day. I could have done it with SQL but fancied banging my head on the
wall instead. Thanks, MW.
- <backup.xml>
- <dirob>
<dirname>C:\sysprep</dirname>
- <fileob>
<filename>test.txt</filename>
<filesize>10</filesize>
</fileob>
</dirob>
</backup.xml>
