Need help with writing a diskpart script "on the fly"

[doestergaard]

First of all, thank you for all the great help you guys provide in here. Im truly grateful

I have writte a XML file which contains information about a possible disk configuration and based on the information in that file, it will write a diskpart script.

I know how to get the information out from the XML file, but creating the diskpart.txt the proper way is more difficult, and so far i haven't been able to succeed

My XML file content looks like this:

<diskconfigurations>
    <disk setting="Full Disc">
        <name>Full Disc</name>
        <path>c:\users\doni\desktop\xml\diskconfig0.txt</path>
        <partitions>
            <partition id="1">
                <settings type="size">
                    <size>100</size>
                </settings>
                <settings type="letter">
                    <driveletter>S</driveletter>
                </settings>
                <settings type="label">
                    <label>System</label>
                </settings>
            </partition>
            <partition id="2">
                <settings type="size">
                    <size>250</size>
                </settings>
                <settings type="letter">
                    <driveletter>C</driveletter>
                </settings>
                <settings type="label">
                    <label>OS</label>
                </settings>
            </partition>
        </partitions>
    </disk>
</diskconfigurations>

And my script looks like this:

local $xmlDoc, $xmlNode, $diskpart_path

$xmlDoc = ObjCreate("Microsoft.XMLDOM")
$xmlDoc.load("c:\users\doni\desktop\xml\diskconfig.xml")
$xmlNode = $xmlDoc.documentElement.selectNodes("/diskconfigurations/disk[@setting='Full Disc']/partitions/partition/settings/size")
$xmlLetter = $xmlDoc.documentElement.selectNodes("/diskconfigurations/disk[@setting='Full Disc']/partitions/partition/settings/driveletter")
$xmlLabel = $xmlDoc.documentElement.selectNodes("/diskconfigurations/disk[@setting='Full Disc']/partitions/partition/settings/label")

$diskpart = "c:\users\doni\desktop\diskpart.txt"

filewrite($diskpart, "select disk 0" & @crlf _
                  &  "clean" & @crlf _
         )
for $xmlNodes in $xmlNode

   filewrite($diskpart, "create partition primary size=" & $xmlNodes.text & @crlf)
   filewrite($diskpart, "assign letter=" & $xmlLetter.text & @crlf)
   filewrite($diskpart, "label=" & $xmlLabel.text & @crlf)

next

And the above so far outputs:

select disk 0
clean
create partition primary size=100
assign letter=
label=
create partition primary size=250
assign letter=
label=

Im missing the letter and the labels, but using selectSingle node will place the same drive letter everytime

 

Any help is appreciated

Thanks in advance!
