[Expat-discuss] How to get the value of an element

[Mukesh Kumar]

Hi,

 Try this

 

 

import xml.parsers.expat

 

# 3 handler functions

def start_element(name, attrs):

    print 'Start element:', name, attrs

def end_element(name):

    print 'End element:', name

def char_data(data):

    print 'Character data:', repr(data)

 

p = xml.parsers.expat.ParserCreate()

 

p.StartElementHandler = start_element

p.EndElementHandler = end_element

p.CharacterDataHandler = char_data

 

p.Parse("""<?xml version="1.0"?>

<parent id="top"><child1 name="paul">Text goes here</child1>

<child2 name="fred">More text</child2>

</parent>""")

 

 

You can you a file to read the xml contents and read the xml document
and in  a while loop , and extract the contents.

 

 

Here is my small web-page:
