Hi there!

I'm working on a piece of software for the family business in order to make inventory, stock, sales statistics etc. easier to maintain and control.

I'm currently stuck on the search engine part, trying to make a function that'll search a .xml file; more specifically the <Description> elements of a .xml file, using user input.

I then want the function to display the text from the sibling <Category>, <Type>, <Quantity> and <UOM> as well as the <Description> in a list view or something similar.

I was hoping to avoid asking for help, but thirteen hours in and a brain in complete meltdown due to lack of understanding, I feel it's time. I tried using code from this forum, playing around with _XMLDomWrapper, but I simply do not understand it enough to make it work. Usually I get by with looking at other people's code and through logic deduce what's doing what so I can apply it to my own code, but I'm out of my depth here.

I was able to make a function change one element of an XML file (though I was trying for hours to change all identical elements to no avail), but that's about it. 

The XML file in question:

<Varer>
    <Vare>
        <Category>Trelast</Category>
        <Type>Impregnert</Type>
        <Description>28 x 120 Impregnert Terrassebord</Description>
        <Quantity>5</Quantity>
        <UOM>Meter</UOM>
    </Vare>

    <Vare>
        <Category>Trelast</Category>
        <Type>Impregnert</Type>
        <Description>21 x 95 Impregnert Terrassebord</Description>
        <Quantity>5</Quantity>
        <UOM>Meter</UOM>
    </Vare>


    <Vare>
        <Category>Festemidler</Category>
        <Type>Skruer</Type>
        <Description>3,4 x 55 Terrasseskruer</Description>
        <Quantity>5</Quantity>
        <UOM>Esker</UOM>
    </Vare>

</Varer>

 

Does anyone have a similar function I could take a look at, or could point me to a guide of some kind?

Any help would be much appreciated!

If all entries are 5 lines, and description is in the middle, then

#include<array.au3>
#include<file.au3>


_ArrayDisplay(_2LinesBeforeAndAfter("Varer.xml" , "Terrasseskruer")) ; 1 return
_ArrayDisplay(_2LinesBeforeAndAfter("Varer.xml" , "Terrassebord"))  ;2 returns
_ArrayDisplay(_2LinesBeforeAndAfter("Varer.xml" , "Terase"))  ;misspelled


Func _2LinesBeforeAndAfter($File , $sMatch)

Local $aArray
Local $aOut[0]
_FileReadToArray($File , $aArray)

For $i = 0 to ubound($aArray) - 1
    If stringinstr($aArray[$i] , $sMatch) Then
        _ArrayAdd($aOut , $aArray[$i - 2])
        _ArrayAdd($aOut , $aArray[$i - 1])
        _ArrayAdd($aOut , $aArray[$i])
        _ArrayAdd($aOut , $aArray[$i + 1])
        _ArrayAdd($aOut , $aArray[$i + 2])
        _ArrayAdd($aOut , "")
    EndIf
Next


If ubound($aOut) = 0 then $aOut = msgbox(0, '' , "no matches for '" & $sMatch & "'")

return $aOut

EndFunc

Seems like I was trying to make things too difficult for myself. Thank you so much, boththose! 

Is there an easy way to display the results in the ListView of my GUI?

Thanks again.

Can you can post your GUI and LV?    I imagine these functions will help though

_GUICtrlListView_AddItem

I'm afraid to post my GUI here because I know it's probably one of the worst codes ever written, but here goes nothing:

#include <File.au3>
#include <ButtonConstants.au3>

#include <WindowsConstants.au3>
#include <ListviewConstants.au3>
#include <GuiListView.au3>
#include "_FindInFile.au3"
#include "_XMLDomWrapper.au3"
