grandnagus Posted March 4, 2011 Share Posted March 4, 2011 Hello,I was able to figure out how to search a basic XML using the _XMLDomWrapper.au3 but I have a requirement to read from a XML with some processing instructions and comments.Here is an example of a file I am able to read:<SOFTPKG NAME = "{D5B5C661-8BB1-11d2-84AF-0000F63192AF}" VERSION = "1.0.0.0"> <TITLE>test</TITLE> <DEPENDENCY> <SOFTPKG> <IMPLEMENTATION> <CODEBASE HREF = "acrobat.cab" /> </IMPLEMENTATION> </SOFTPKG> </DEPENDENCY></SOFTPKG>But if the file contains processing instructions and comments like this, then my scrip can not read.<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE SOFTPKG SYSTEM "http://www.microsoft.com/standards/osd/osd.dtd" ><?XML::namespace href="http://www.microsoft.com/standards/osd/msicd.dtd" as="MSICD"?><SOFTPKG NAME = "{D5B5C661-8BB1-11d2-84AF-0000F63192AF}" VERSION = "2,0,0,0"> <TITLE>Acrobat Reader</TITLE> <ABSTRACT> Adobe Acrobat Reader </ABSTRACT> <IMPLEMENTATION> <OS VALUE="WinNT"><OSVERSION VALUE="4,0,0,0"/></OS> <OS VALUE="Win95"/> <CODEBASE HREF = "Acrobat.cab" /> </IMPLEMENTATION></SOFTPKG>How do I "ignore" this part of the xml file?<?xml version="1.0"?><!DOCTYPE SOFTPKG SYSTEM "http://www.microsoft.com/standards/osd/osd.dtd" ><?XML::namespace href="http://www.microsoft.com/standards/osd/msicd.dtd" as="MSICD"?>Here is my code:expandcollapse popup;start xml read test #include <_XMLDomWrapper.au3> Global $Title, $FileOpen Func _GetFirstValue($node) $ret_val = _XMLGetValue($node) If IsArray($ret_val) Then Return ($ret_val[1]) Else Return SetError(1,3,0) EndIf EndFunc $FileOpen = _XMLFileOpen("C:\Categories\Cabs\temp\test.osd") ;if $FileOpen = -1 Then ;MsgBox(48, "Open File Correctly?", "NO") ;else ;MsgBox(0, "File ?", $FileOpen) ;EndIf $node = "//TITLE" $Title = _GetFirstValue($node) $Version = _XMLGetAttrib('(/SOFTPKG)', 'VERSION') $Dependency = _XMLGetAttrib('(//CODEBASE)', 'HREF') ;_XMLGetField('(//TITLE)') if $Title = -1 Then MsgBox(48, "Error", "Could Not Load values") else MsgBox(0, "Test Window", $Title & " " & $Version & " " & $Dependency) EndIf ;end xml read test Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsaltyDS Posted March 5, 2011 Share Posted March 5, 2011 There's something wrong with the way you have the namespace declaration after the DOCTYPE. If that is commented out it loads fine: #include <_XMLDOMWrapper.au3> $debugging = True ; Global declared inside _XMLDOMWrapper.au3 Global $sXML = '<?xml version="1.0"?>' & @CRLF & _ '<!DOCTYPE SOFTPKG SYSTEM "http://www.microsoft.com/standards/osd/osd.dtd" >' & @CRLF & _ '<!--?XML::namespace href="http://www.microsoft.com/standards/osd/msicd.dtd" as="MSICD"?-->' & @CRLF & _ '<SOFTPKG NAME = "{D5B5C661-8BB1-11d2-84AF-0000F63192AF}" VERSION = "2,0,0,0">' & @CRLF & _ ' <TITLE>Acrobat Reader</TITLE>' & @CRLF & _ ' <ABSTRACT>' & @CRLF & _ ' Adobe Acrobat Reader' & @CRLF & _ ' </ABSTRACT>' & @CRLF & _ ' <IMPLEMENTATION>' & @CRLF & _ ' <OS VALUE="WinNT">' & @CRLF & _ ' <OSVERSION VALUE="4,0,0,0"/>' & @CRLF & _ ' </OS>' & @CRLF & _ ' <OS VALUE="Win95"/>' & @CRLF & _ ' <CODEBASE HREF="Acrobat.cab" />' & @CRLF & _ ' </IMPLEMENTATION>' & @CRLF & _ '</SOFTPKG>' Global $iRET = _XMLLoadXML($sXML) ConsoleWrite("Debug: @error = " & @error & "; $iRET = " & $iRET & @LF) Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

They are in my current environment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PsaltyDS Posted March 7, 2011 Share Posted March 7, 2011 I didn't try that hard, but casual googling did not turn up a valid example of that "XML::NAMESPACE" definition. It doesn't match anything in the W3C description of namespaces either. I'm not an XML expert, but if I had to work with that format without finding out any more about it, I would just delete or comment out that part by string manipulation before trying to load it. Better would be to contact somebody familiar with the source application and find out what it was meant for. Valuater's AutoIt 1-2-3, Class...

I will try to solve using your sugggestions. Thanks for the help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
