It would have been helpful to post the question here rather than just a
link.
However, having read it, I'm still not sure what you want to do?
It seems your input file (the XML one?) has multiple ObjectGuid tags?
And you want to write them out to a CSV file with a number appended
(objectGuid_1, ObjectGuid_2 etc) Is that right? If so what exactly is
the issue - it seems simple enough (given your obvious coding
experience) to store a counter and create a new string each time you
find a GUID tag?
But I still don't understand how these tags relate to the rest of the
data in the file? Are you only extracting the GUID and want one row per
file? Or are you extracting multiple data structures and creating a row
for each? In which case are the multiple GUID embedded in each data
structure? I'm really not sure what you are trying to do.
Here is an additional sample sample of the XML that I am working with:
I have no idea how that is supposed to help? It doesn't have any
ObjectGUID tags that I can see? It is essentially meaningless
data (to us).
I wouldn't be inclined to put too much into this, it's already been
asked on the main mailing list and appears to be a follow up to an
earlier thread.
