Mixing
Append Tags with attributes to XML with minidom
.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ height:90px;width:728px;box-sizing:border-box;
}
I am parsing a xml using minidom. What I want to achieve is find all the tags with a certain attribute and then append a new tag with different attribute value below it. For e.g
Lets say the tag is:
<PROPVAL ISFORMULA="N" LOCALIZABLE="false" NAME="EntDataRegion" VALUE="XYZ"/>
I found all tags that has attribute value NAME = "EntReg" . Now I want to append a tag below it.
<PROPVAL ISFORMULA="N" LOCALIZABLE="false" NAME="EntRoutingDataSelected" VALUE="yes"/>
The tag name and value will we static i.e I want to append same tag where ever the PROPVAL attribute NAME has value EntDataRegion.
So far I have written this and found all PROPVAL tags:
xmldoc = minidom.parse('test.xml')
prop_val = xmldoc.getElementsByTagName('PROPVAL')
for i in prop_val:
if i.attributes['NAME'].value == 'PB:EntDataRegion':
print(i.attributes['VALUE'].value)
Edit
The XML structure is like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<MOD version="3">
<CLASS>
<CLASS COMMENT="" DEFAULTPRIORITY="50">
<PROPVAL ISFORMULA="N" LOCALIZABLE="false" NAME="EntDataRegion" VALUE="XYZ"/>
<RULE LOCALIZABLE="false"/>
<ITEM>
<PROPVAL ISFORMULA="N" LOCALIZABLE="false" NAME="HIDE" VALUE="XYZ"/>
</ITEM>
</CLASS>
<CLASS COMMENT="" DEFAULTPRIORITY="50">
<PROPVAL ISFORMULA="N" LOCALIZABLE="false" NAME="EntDataRegion" VALUE="XYZ"/>
<RULE LOCALIZABLE="false"/>
<ITEM>
<PROPVAL ISFORMULA="N" LOCALIZABLE="false" NAME="HIDE" VALUE="XYZ"/>
</ITEM>
</CLASS>
</CLASS>
<CLASS>
<ITEM>
<PROPVAL ISFORMULA="N" LOCALIZABLE="false" NAME="EntDataRegion" VALUE="XYZ"/>
<PROPVAL ISFORMULA="N" LOCALIZABLE="false" NAME="EntRoutingDataSelected" VALUE="yes"/>
</ITEM>
</CLASS>
</MOD>
The xml has two tags CLASS and <ITEM> . The class tag can have item tag as child tag. But before having item as child tag it will always have a bunch of <PROPVAL> tags.
The idea is to insert
<PROPVAL ISFORMULA="N" LOCALIZABLE="false" NAME="EntRoutingDataSelected" VALUE="yes"/>
before
<PROPVAL ISFORMULA="N" LOCALIZABLE="false" NAME="EntDataRegion" VALUE="XYZ"/>
The issue is I am able to insert the above tag. The fact that class tag which has item tag also takes this property. Whereas I only want ITEM tags to have this property if they have <PROPVAL NAME="EntDataRegion">
This is what I have tried:
from xml.dom import minidom
xmldoc = minidom.parse('test.xml')
prop_val = xmldoc.getElementsByTagName('PROPVAL')
class_xml = xmldoc.getElementsByTagName('CLASS')
item_xml = xmldoc.getElementsByTagName('ITEM')
newScript = xmldoc.createElement("PROPVAL")
newScript.setAttribute("ISFORMULA" , "N")
newScript.setAttribute("LOCALIZABLE", "false")
newScript.setAttribute("NAME", "EntRoutingDataSelected")
newScript.setAttribute("VALUE", "yes")
print(newScript.toxml())
for i in range(len(class_xml)):
item = class_xml[i]
item_chidren = item.childNodes
item.insertBefore(newScript, item_chidren[4])
with open('newtest.xml', 'w') as f:
xmldoc.writexml(f)
