Hi, I need to replace a string in xml file with something else.Ex - <SERVICEPARAMETER id="_775" Semantics="subfunction" DDORef="_54"> <SHORTNAME>rate</SHORTNAME> <LONGNAME>rate</LONGNAME> <VALUE role="constant" DataType="unsigned" value="1" /> <BYTEPOSITION role="position" BytePos="1" /> </SERVICEPARAMETER> - <SERVICEPARAMETER id="_776" Semantics="localId" DDORef="_54">
Here i have opened an xml file(small part is pasted here).I want to replace the word 'localId' with 'dataPackageID' wherever it comes in xml file.I have asked this before and got a code: input_file = open(filename) xmlcontents = input_file.read() input_file.close() xmlcontents = xmlcontents.replace("spam", "eggs") output_file = open(filename,"w") output_file.write(xmlcontents) output_file.close() Although this works alone it is nto working when i handle multiple file I/O.Is there a alternative to do this.(maybe without read() operation) Thanks -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
