FileRead and XML


Recommended Posts

Hello,

I use the FileRead function to open a XML file but i can't get the content so noticed that my XML file is formatted with a header and char 00 instead of space.

Here is the file in HEX:

00000000h: FF FE 3C 00 3F 00 78 00 6D 00 6C 00 20 00 76 00; ÿþ<.?.x.m.l. .v.
00000010h: 65 00 72 00 73 00 69 00 6F 00 6E 00 3D 00 22 00; e.r.s.i.o.n.=.".
00000020h: 31 00 2E 00 30 00 22 00 20 00 65 00 6E 00 63 00; 1...0.". .e.n.c.

Obviously when i copy/paste the content and save it to a text file here is the result:

00000000h: 3C 3F 78 6D 6C 20 76 65 72 73 69 6F 6E 3D 22 31; <?xml version="1
00000010h: 2E 30 22 20 65 6E 63 6F 64 69 6E 67 3D 22 55 54; .0" encoding="UT
00000020h: 46 2D 31 36 22 3F 3E 0D 0A 3C 6A 6F 62 6C 6F 67; F-16"?>..<joblog

These XML file are created by BackupExec (Veritas Symantec).

I also tried _XMLDomWrapper.au3 but i get an error "can't parse line". I think the error comes from these extra chars FF FE or 00.

Anyway the file opens correctly with the browser :D

Any idea to open these files ?

Thanks

Hi,

then you can open the file via browser with Rin() ... or _RunDos(). :D

Yes but i want to extract data from these files so i need to read them.

Do you know why these chars (FF FE 00) are present ?

Is it a part of XML format ? or XML are standard ASCII files ?

Hi,

I need for example: title, set_ressource_name and summary

All should be in one .txt file created somewhere

I must read this file "as is" because it's created by BackupExec but perhaps i need to create an intermediate file ? Anyway i need a function to read it...

HI,

okay. First shot. Does this help?

#include <Ie.au3>
#include <Array.au3>
; ++++++++ To Create the xml.txt ++++++++
Opt('WinTitleMatchMode', 4)

$path_To_xml = 'C:\Downloads\AutoIt-Skripte\Entwicklung\ForumTests\xml.xml'
$path_To_xmlAsTxt = @ScriptDir & '\xml.txt'
;$result_TXT = @ScriptDir & '\result.txt'

_IECreate($path_To_xml)
Send("^a" & "^c")
WinClose($path_To_xml & ' - Microsoft Internet Explorer')

$file = FileOpen($path_To_xmlAsTxt, 1)

; Check if file opened for writing OK
If $file = -1 Then
    MsgBox(0, "Error", "Unable to open file.")
    Exit
EndIf
FileWrite($file, ClipGet())
; ++++++++ To Create the xml.txt ++++++++

Global $result

$txtFile = FileRead($path_To_xmlAsTxt)

Global $titles = _SRE_Between($txtFile, '<title>', '</title>', 1)
Global $set_resource_name = _SRE_Between($txtFile, '<set_resource_name>', '</set_resource_name>', 1)
Global $summary = _SRE_Between($txtFile, '<summary>', '</summary>', 1)

_ArrayDisplay($titles, "Titles")
_ArrayDisplay($set_resource_name, "$set_ressource_name")
_ArrayDisplay($summary, "$summary")
    
Func _SRE_Between($s_String, $s_Start, $s_End, $i_ReturnArray = 0); $i_ReturnArray returns an array of all found if it = 1, otherwise default returns first found
    $a_Array = StringRegExp($s_String, '(?:' & $s_Start & ')(.*?)(?:' & $s_End & ')', 3)
    If Not @error And Not $i_ReturnArray And IsArray($a_Array) Then Return $a_Array[0]
    If IsArray($a_Array) Then Return $a_Array
EndFunc

Hi,

have a look here or use the search func. Another good tip would be looking into the S&S forum. The Ie.au3 is mostly on the first page.

Your file is unicode, that why FFFE is at file beginning. But you can parse it simple and safe with MS XML. Example, how to select "title" nodes:

$oXml = ObjCreate("Msxml2.DOMDocument")
$oXml.Load("BEX_NAS_SERVER_00126.xml")

$oXmlroot = $oXml.documentElement

$oNodeList = $oXmlroot.selectNodes("//title")

For $oNode In $oNodeList
    MsgBox (0, "Data", $oNode.Text)
Next

I also tried _XMLDomWrapper.au3 but i get an error "can't parse line". I think the error comes from these extra chars FF FE or 00.

Are you using the latest version?

Do you have a script that reproduces the error?
