Parsing em:id in install.rdf (XML file)

[gihefca]

Hi

My goal is to get an id from install.rdf, XML file from Mozilla's extensions

I've tried with _XMLDomWrapper but it don't seem to work

I don't think it can't work with a regex, the id can be anywhere in the file and can have multiple instances of it

Example of XML to parse. I need to extract the red one

Thanks for help

[iamtheky]

is it always followed by the "printers" name line? if so something like:

#include <file.au3>

$max = _FileCountLines ("test.xml")

for $i = 1 to $max
$readline = filereadline("test.xml" , $i)
If stringinstr($readline ,"<em:name>printers</em:name>") Then
    $line = filereadline ("test.xml" , $i - 1)
    exitloop
EndIf

next

$id = stringregexp($line , "<em:id>(.*?)</em:id>" , 3)

msgbox (0, '' , $id[0])

It's not always the same scheme used

btw, I found a solution using XML parser o/

Big thanks to PsaltyDS

#include <_XMLDOMWrapper.au3>
msgbox(0,"install.rdf id",_ParseRDF("install.rdf"))

   If _XMLLoadXML($xmlFile, $xmlNamespace) Then
   $ret = _XMLGetValue("/RDF/Description/em:id")
   If UBound($ret)<>2 Then Return False
