You can either 1) upgrade to python 2.5 which includes the elementtree
module or 2) download and add the module to your current installation

from elementtree import ElementTree as et
tree = et.parse("testxml.xml")
for t in tree.getiterator("SERVICEPARAMETER"):
t.set("Semantics", "localId")
tree.write("output.xml")
Is this code
complete,where are you replacing the localid with "datapackageid",and
where is the new xml being stored.
Thanks for the replies

After reading your post again, this might be better:
#!/usr/bin/env python
from elementtree import ElementTree as et
tree = et.parse("testxml.xml")
for t in tree.getiterator("SERVICEPARAMETER"):
if t.get("Semantics") == "localId":
t.set("Semantics", "dataPackageID")

replacing string in xml file--revisited
Hi,
I need to replace a string in xml file with something else.Ex
-
rate
rate
-
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

What do you mean by "hangs"?
You have replaced stdout - what if the program is prompting the user for
something, and you can't see it? Can you type some text and continue?
>> Can more than 3 files be opened at a

Sure. The limit actually depends on the OS, but on "normal" circumstances
it's far above 3 files.

HI,
Thanks for the reply.that seems to work,but i was doing this
so as to attach it to a bigger code where it will be utilised before a
parsing.
#Input file and Output file path from user
file_input = raw_input("Enter The ODX File Path:")
(shortname,ext)=os.path.splitext(file_input)
f_open_out=shortname+".ini"
log=shortname+".xls"
test_file=shortname+"testxml.xml"
saveout = sys.stdout
input_xml = open(file_input,'r')
xmlcont=input_xml.read()
xmlcont=xmlcont.replace('localId','dataPackageId')
output_file = open(test_file,"w")
output_file.write(xmlcont)
output_file.close()
f_open=open(f_open_out, 'w')
logfile=open(log,"w")
sys.stdout = f_open
#Parse the input file,and check for correct ODX version
xmldoc = minidom.parse(input_xml)
I am opening 2 more files in addition to the file
where the new xml goes.One file is written using the sys.stdout
command as most of the output has to go there printing takes place in
many places (so cant use f_open.write) each time.
When i attach the part of replacing the string
'localid' in xml file with something else as given above with
xmlcont=xmlcont.replace('localId','dataPackageId')
the code does not run and hangs.Can more than 3 files be opened at a
time .I dotn know what the problem is here.

There is no error now,but the string is not being replaced,It remains
the same,should we save the opened file or something

...and then it still won't work because the OP's replace call assumes in-place
operation despite the fact that strings aren't mutable.
The OP needs something following this pattern:
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()
For extra credit, use a different file name for writing out the result and
rename the file after it's written. That way you don't lose your file contents
if a meteor hits your CPU just after it started to overwrite the file.
