What the hell is Timers.au3? Just use the builtin TimerInit() and TimerDiff().

What the hell is Timers.au3? Just use the builtin TimerInit() and TimerDiff().

Hi, please read the code, TimerInit() and TimerDiff() are used (#Include <Timers.au3> is needed)

But how can I speedup the funcion?

With autosave on it takes 85 seconds for me, and with it off 87 seconds. Strange. I will have to look deeper into it.

This should get you by in the meantime:

$out = ""
$out &= '<?xml version="1.0"?>' & @CRLF
$out &= '<root>' & @CRLF

For $X = 1 to 10
    $out &= '<child' & $X & '>' & @CRLF
    For $Y = 1 to 10
        $out &= '<grandchild' & $X & '.' & $Y & '>'
        $out &= $X * $Y
        For $Z = 1 to 10
            $out &= '<greatgrandchild' & $X & '.' & $Y & '.' & $Z & '>'
            $out &= $X * $Y * $Z
            $out &= '</greatgrandchild' & $X & '.' & $Y & '.' & $Z & '>' & @CRLF
        Next
        $out &= '</grandchild' & $X & '.' & $Y & '>' & @CRLF
    Next
    $out &= '</child' & $X & '>' & @CRLF
Next

$out &= '</root>' & @CRLF

FileWrite("XML.xml", $out)

FileWrite("XML.xml", $out)

Thanks for your time and solution, but this is not where I'm looking for.

I want to use the XML DOM wrapper functionality for saving data etc, not the FileWrite or something else.

My excuse for this.

And my test is only to show how slow this function is, maybe someone had a faster script function for me!?!?!

Please, help me!!!

I need to insert one XML document into another.

I have one file: source.xml that contains:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<book>

<title lang="en">Everyday Italian</title>

<author>Giada De Laurentiis</author>

<chapter>Chapter One Title</chapter

<chapter>Chapter Two Title</chapter

<chapter>Chapter Three Title</chapter

</chapters>

</book>

I would like to insert it into library.xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<book>

<title lang="en">Italian for Dummies</title>

<author>Larry Smith</author>

<chapter>Chapter One Title</chapter

<chapter>Chapter Two Title</chapter

<chapter>Chapter Three Title</chapter

</chapters>

</book>

</library>

to get this:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<book>

<title lang="en">Italian for Dummies</title>

<author>Larry Smith</author>

<chapter>Chapter One Title</chapter

<chapter>Chapter Two Title</chapter

<chapter>Chapter Three Title</chapter

</chapters>

</book>

<book>

<title lang="en">Everyday Italian</title>

<author>Giada De Laurentiis</author>

<chapter>Chapter One Title</chapter

<chapter>Chapter Two Title</chapter

<chapter>Chapter Three Title</chapter

</chapters>

</book>

</library>

I can read and write specific text with the XML DOM wrapper but do not know how to get or move larger chunks of XML.

I have found this UDF and this forum very helpful. Any help witrh this would be appreciated.

Hello everyone, I'm somewhat new at all of this, and I know this is a simple question, but how do I get values of an xml file? My file is like below:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?>
<myxml>
     <category1>
          <option1>A</option1>
          <option2>B</option2>
     </category1>
     <category2>
...
...
...
     </category4>
</myxml>

basically, a standard xml file (this is just an example of the structure). I want to use a function to "get" a value, such as option1, by providing the path. I tried this:

;This should set variable $value to "A"

$value = _xmlgetvalue("/myxml/category1/option1")

Needless to say, it didn't work. Sorry if this is a stupid question, like I said, I'm new to autoit, XML DOM wrapper, and such. Please help me out.

try this (modify file path):

#include <Array.au3>

$File_Path = "C:\Program Files\AutoIt3\XML\Enk.xml"

_XMLFileOpen($File_Path)

$XML_Path = "myxml/category1"

$array = _XMLGetChildren($XML_Path)

_ArrayDisplay ($Array, "test" )

MsgBox (0,'',$Array[1][1])

I'm not sure what it is you want us to see. The message box displays "A". I added the line MsgBox (0,'',$Array[1][0]) and it displays "option1".

The child node name in [x>0][0] and it's value in [x>0][1], and possibly a namespace [x>0][2].

Thanks for the advice... it actually was a namespace problem, I forgot to include the namespace in my post. However, I got it to work. Thanks snapp2 for the suggestion, it works great.

Now I don't want WeaponX to get angry with me but I've read almost all of the pages and haven't seen much to help me out with the "No Xml File." message box.

All I am looking to do is pull 3 values from the following xml file.

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<Batch>
<Case>5555555</Case>
<SubmittedBy>Testerson</SubmittedBy>
<Description>Test</Description>
</Batch>

My script is a "starter" script that doesn't have much to it other than what I copied from a previous post.

#include <array.au3>
#include <_XMLDomWrapper.au3>
_SetDebug(True)
Global $Batch[3]
$sXmlFile = "batchtest.xml"
If @error Then
    MsgBox(4096, "File Open", "No file chosen")
Else
    $oOXml = ""
    $oOXml = _XMLFileOpen($sXmlFile, "")
EndIf
If Not IsObj($oOXml) then
    MsgBox(0,"Error","No Xml file.")
    Exit
EndIf
$xml_path = "Batch"
$Batch[0] = _XMLGetValue($xml_path&"/Case")
$Batch[1] = _XMLGetValue($xml_path&"/SubmittedBy")
$Batch[2] = _XMLGetValue($xml_path&"/Description")


_ArrayDisplay($Batch)

As always thanks for any help and a damn nice UDF.

enkriptix · April 2, 2009

#include <Array.au3>
#include <_XMLDomWrapper.au3>

If Not FileExists("batchtest.xml") then
    MsgBox(0,"Error","No Xml file.")
    Exit
EndIf

_XMLFileOpen("batchtest.xml")
$Batch = _XMLGetChildren("Batch");gets child node names and values in array

_ArrayDisplay($Batch);shows array

;to get values, see following
;syntax $Batch[n][1] where n is index number of node (case is 1, submitted by is 2, description is 3)
MsgBox(0,"Test","Case: " & $Batch[1][1] & ", Submitted by: " & $Batch[2][1] & ", Description: " & $Batch[3][1])

Try this...

rosscoe43 · April 2, 2009

Worked like a charm, thanks.

enkriptix · April 3, 2009

No problem. Actually, thank Snapp2, he helped me with a similar problem, and provided me with a solution similar to what I just gave you...

enkriptix · April 4, 2009

Okay, now I have an issue with a more complex set of values....

I had a namespace problem before, but I solved it as follows:

XML File:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?> 
<myxml xmlns="URL">
<category1>
     <sub1>value</sub1>
     <sub2>value</sub2>
</category>
</myxml>

My Code:

$sub2 = _XMLGetData("myxml.xml","category1","sub2")

Func _XMLGetData($file,$node,$child)
    Dim $i, $num, $max, $array, $XML_Path, $value
    _XMLFileOpen($file)
    $XML_Path = "//*[local-name()='" & $node & "']"
    $array = _XMLGetChildren($XML_Path)
    $max = UBound($array)
    For $i = 1 To $max - 1
        If $array[$i][0] = $child Then
            $num = $i
        EndIf
    Next
    $value = $array[$num][1]
    Return $value
EndFunc;==>_XMLGetData

>>this returns the value of sub2. However, next I run into the following problem:

XML File:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1" ?> 
<myxml xmlns="URL">
<category1>
     <sub1>value</sub1>
     <sub2 number="1">
         <node1>
               <child1>value</child1>
             <child2>value</child2>
         </node1>
         <node2>
             <child1>value</child1>
             <child2>value</child2>
         </node2>
     </sub2>
     <sub2 number="2">
         <node1>
             <child1>value</child1>
             <child2>value</child2>
         </node1>
         <node2>
             <child1>value</child1>
             <child2>value</child2>
         </node2>
     </sub2>
</category1>
</myxml>

>>>I want to find the value of child2 of node2 of sub2 [number="2"]

Any suggestions?

It looks like you copied the code directly from the browser which contains extra formatting. Save to a file, then copy and paste.

Also you are using _XMLGetValue when there are no values to get, this file is all attributes, use _XMLGetAttrib.

thanks , i have i working now (see my code in examples)

the bug was that the "german version" http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=Berlin&hl=de gives incorrect data and a corrupt XML file, but the english version http://www.google.com/ig/api?weather=Berlin works??

strange..?

enkriptix · April 7, 2009

_GetFirstValue('/category1/sub2[@number="2"]/node2/child2')

Thanks, I'll try it out...

racer21 · April 14, 2009
