Hi.
The following text contains sample data. I'm simply trying to parse it
using libxml2dom as the lib to extract data.
As an example, to get the name/desc
test data
<class_meta_data><departments><department><name><![CDATA[A
HTG]]></name><desc><![CDATA[American
Heritage]]></desc></department><department><name><![CDATA[ACC]]></name><desc><![CDATA[Accounting]]></desc></department>
d = libxml2dom.parseString(s, html=1)
p1="//department/name"
p2="//department/desc"
pcount_ = d.xpath(p1)
p2_ = d.xpath(p2)
print str(len(pcount_))
nba=0
for a in pcount_:
abbrv=a.nodeValue
print abbrv
abbrv=a.toString()
print abbrv
abbrv=a.textContent
print abbrv
neither of the above generates any of the CML name/desc data..
any pointers on what I'm missing???
I can/have created a quick parse/split process to get the data, but I
thought there'd be a straight forward process to extract the data
using one of the py/libs..
thanks
