I would appreciate assistance doing in R what a colleague has done in
python. Unfortunately (for me), I have almost no experience with either
python or xml.
Within an xml file there is
<CreaDate>20120627</CreaDate><CreaTime>07322600</CreaTime>
and I need to extract those two values, 20120627 and 07322600
Here is the short python function. Even without knowing python, it's
conceptually clear what it does. I would like to do the same in R.
def readxmldate(xmlfile):
tree = ET.parse(xmlfile)
root = tree.getroot()
for lev1 in root.findall('Esri'):
xdate = lev1.find('CreaDate').text
xtime = lev1.find('CreaTime').text
return xdate, xtime
Thanks in advance
