使用Python在XML中查找和替换标记

标签: python xml tags

我之前提出过类似的问题,但这个问题略有不同。我想使用python查找和替换XML标记。我使用XML来上传一些GIS shapefile的元数据。在元数据编辑器中,我可以选择收集某些数据的日期。选项包括“单日期”,“多个日期”和“日期范围”。在包含一系列日期标记的第一个XML中,您将看到标签“rngdates”,其中包含一些子元素'begdate','begtime','enddate'和。我想编辑这些标签,使其看起来像包含多个单个日期的第二个XML。新标签是'mdattim','sngdate'和'caldate'。我希望这很清楚,但如果需要,请询问更多信息。 XML是一种奇怪的野兽,我还没有完全理解它。

谢谢, 麦克

第一个XML:

<idinfo>
  <citation>
    <citeinfo>
       <origin>My Company Name</origin>
       <pubdate>05/04/2009</pubdate>
       <title>Feature Class Name</title>
       <edition>0</edition>
       <geoform>vector digital data</geoform>
       <onlink>.</onlink>
     </citeinfo>
   </citation>
<descript>
  <abstract>This dataset represents the GPS location of inspection points collected in the field for the Site Name</abstract>
  <purpose>This dataset was created to accompany the clients Assessment Plan. This point feature class represents the location within the area that the field crews collected related data.</purpose>
 </descript>
<timeperd>
 <timeinfo>
   <rngdates>
     <begdate>7/13/2010</begdate>
     <begtime>unknown</begtime>
     <enddate>7/15/2010</enddate>
     <endtime>unknown</endtime>
    </rngdates>
 </timeinfo>
 <current>ground condition</current>
</timeperd>

第二个XML:

<idinfo>
  <citation>
    <citeinfo>
      <origin>My Company Name</origin>
      <pubdate>03/07/2011</pubdate>
      <title>Feature Class Name</title>
      <edition>0</edition>
      <geoform>vector digital data</geoform>
      <onlink>.</onlink>
    </citeinfo>
   </citation>
 <descript>
   <abstract>This dataset represents the GPS location of inspection points collected in the field for the Site Name</abstract>
   <purpose>This dataset was created to accompany the clients Assessment Plan. This point feature class represents the location within the area that the field crews collected related data.</purpose>
 </descript>
<timeperd>
 <timeinfo>
  <mdattim>
    <sngdate>
      <caldate>08-24-2009</caldate>
      <time>unknown</time>
     </sngdate>
    <sngdate>
      <caldate>08-26-2009</caldate>
    </sngdate>
   <sngdate>
      <caldate>08-26-2009</caldate>
    </sngdate>
   <sngdate>
      <caldate>07-07-2010</caldate>
    </sngdate>
  </mdattim>
</timeinfo>

到目前为止,这是我的Python代码:

folderPath = "Z:\ESRI\Figure_Sourcing\Figures\Metadata\IOR_Run_Metadata_2009"

for filename in glob.glob(os.path.join(folderPath, "*.xml")):

    fullpath = os.path.join(folderPath, filename)

    if os.path.isfile(fullpath):
        basename, filename2 = os.path.split(fullpath)

        root = ElementTree(file=r"Z:\ESRI\Figure_Sourcing\Figures\Metadata\Run_Metadata_2009\\" + filename2)

        iter = root.getiterator()
        #Iterate
        for element in iter:
            print element.tag

            if element.tag == "begdate":
                element.tag.replace("begdate", "sngdate")

答案 0 :(得分:1)

我相信我成功地使代码工作。如果需要从现有XML文件更改某些标记,则可以编辑这些标记。我需要这样做才能在批处理脚本中为某些GIS shapefile创建元数据,以根据它们是单个日期,多个日期还是一系列日期来更改某些日期值。

我还有一些工作要做,但这是我从原始问题中寻找的答案:)我确信这可以用于许多其他应用程序。

# Set workspace location for XML files
folderPath = "Z:\ESRI\Figure_Sourcing\Figures\Metadata\IOR_Run_Metadata_2009"
# Loop through each file and search for files with .xml extension
for filename in glob.glob(os.path.join(folderPath, "*.xml")):

    fullpath = os.path.join(folderPath, filename)

    # Split file name from the directory path
    if os.path.isfile(fullpath):
        basename, filename2 = os.path.split(fullpath)
        # Set variable to XML files
        root = ElementTree(file=r"Z:\ESRI\Figure_Sourcing\Figures\Metadata\IOR_Run_Metadata_2009\\" + filename2)

        # Set variable for iterator
        iter = root.getiterator()
        #Iterate through the tags in each XML file
        for element in iter:
            if element.tag == "timeinfo":
                tree = root.find(".//timeinfo")
                # Clear all tags below the "timeinfo" tag
                tree.clear()
                # Append new Element
                element.append(ET.Element("mdattim"))
                # Create SubElements to the parent tag
                child1 = ET.SubElement(tree, "sngdate")
                child2 = ET.SubElement(child1, "caldate")
                child3 = ET.SubElement(child1, "time")
                # Set text values for tags
                child2.text = "08-24-2009"
                child3.text = "unknown
