[Expat-discuss] Parse XML file

[amitesh kumar]

Hi All,

Please help me in the below code:

import sys
import xml.parsers.expat
import dircache

rec = {}
flag = '*'
recList = {}
cnt=0

def start_element(name, attrs):
    sys.stdout.write(name+': ')
    if 'orrfnbr'==name:
     flag = 'ORRFNBR'
    # sys.stdout.write(flag)
    sys.stdout.flush()

def end_element(name):
    sys.stdout.write('\n')
    sys.stdout.flush()

def char_data(data):
    sys.stdout.write(str(repr(data))[1:])
    if flag == 'ORRFNBR':
    rec['ORRFNBR']=str(repr(data))[1:]
    sys.stdout.write(str(rec))
    # recList['1']=rec
    # cnt = cnt+1

#   sys.stdout.write(str(recList[0]['X']))
    sys.stdout.flush()

files = dircache.listdir('./xmls/')

for f in iter(files):
    print f
    g=open('./xmls/'+f, 'r')
    p = xml.parsers.expat.ParserCreate()
    p.StartElementHandler  = start_element
    p.EndElementHandler    = end_element
    p.CharacterDataHandler = char_data
    p.ParseFile(g)
    print recList
    g.close()

Here I'm trying to :
1. Read each XML file in a folder.
2. Parse file.
3. Store some of the tags values as key-value pair in a map
4. Similarly maintain another collection that'll store one map per file.

Please someone help me.
