I have an xml file. I didn't make this file so I don't want to make any changes. I want to print the screen by pulling the information that provides certain conditions from the file. The value I want to get is on the same level as the value I'll do with the comparison. So even if I can check the condition, I can't pull the other data. How can I do this?



asd.xml



<report>
<name>asd</name>
<description>example description - 1</description>
</report>
<report>
<name>dsa</name>
<description>example description - 2</description>
</report>
<report>
<name>asd</name>
<description>example description - 3</description>
</report>


asd.py



import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
tree = ET.parse('asd.xml')
root = tree.getroot()

for report_1 in root:
for report_2 in report_1:
if result.tag == 'name':
if result.text == 'asd':
print ?


I find the ones that are equal to asd by retrieving the value from tag name "name". but I cannot access the same level decription value.



I want output



name: asd
description: example description - 1
name: asd
description: example description - 3

          Your file produces an error:




          ParseError: junk after document element: line 5, column 0




          Should it look like this:



          <data>
          <report>
          <name>asd</name>
          <description>example description - 1</description>
          </report>
          <report>
          <name>dsa</name>
          <description>example description - 2</description>
          </report>
          <report>
          <name>asd</name>
          <description>example description - 3</description>
          </report>
          </data>


          You could use the following code:



          import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

          tree = ET.parse('asd.xml')

          root = tree.getroot()

          flag = False

          for report in root:
          flag = False
          for row in report:
          if row.tag == 'name' and row.text == 'asd':
          print('name: asd')
          flag = True
          if flag and row.tag == 'description':
          print('description: {}'.format(row.text))


          That would provide you with desired result:



          name: asd
          description: example description - 1
          name: asd
          description: example description - 3

          What about this?

          <description>example description - 3</description>

          Python3



          import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET
          tree = ET.parse(r"asd.xml")
          root = tree.getroot()

          for report in root:
          if report.find('name').text == "asd":
          print("name: ", report.find('name').text)
