Thanks Fredrik, thats got me started but just incase anyone looks there is a slight mistype in your code...
or you could do something like > > for dir_elem in tree.findall("dirob"): > for file_elem in dirob.findall("fileob"): > print file_elem.findtext("filesize") > > to loop over all directory objects at the top level, and print the sizes for > all files in those directories. should read >>> for delem in tree.findall("dirob"): ... for felem in delem.findall("fileob"): ... print felem.findtext("filesize") ... 933888 9365 -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
