Hi, Im a Python newbie and am trying to get the data out of a series of XML files. So for example the xml is:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?><soap:Envelope xmlns:soap="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/"; xmlns:soapenc="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/"; xmlns:tns="http://www.ExchangeNetwork.net/schema/v1.0/node.wsdl"; xmlns:types="http://www.ExchangeNetwork.net/schema/v1.0/node.wsdl"; xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance"; xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema";><soap:Header><wsu:Timestamp xmlns:wsu="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/ws/2002/07/utility";><wsu:Created>2005-12-28T05:59:38Z</wsu:Created><wsu:Expires>2005-12-28T06:04:38Z</wsu:Expires></wsu:Timestamp></soap:Header><soap:Body soap:encodingStyle="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/encoding/";><q1:NodePingResponse xmlns:q1="http://www.ExchangeNetwork.net/schema/v1.0/node.xsd";><return xsi:type="xsd:string">Ready</return></q1:NodePingResponse></soap:Body></soap:Envelope> and I want to get the value from the element "return" which currently has a value of "Ready". Other XML files I want to work with may have several elements I want to pull data from. This seem relatively easy but I have been reading and cruising google for hours and none of the examples make any sense. I appreciate any code writing help with this. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
