Question

2天前我第一次被介绍到Python（以及一般的编程）。今天我被卡住了。我花了好几个小时试图找到一个答案，我怀疑这个问题是如此微不足道，其他人还没有被困在这里：）

老板要我手动将巨大的.xml文件清理成更人性化的东西。我正在尝试创建一个脚本来为我完成。以下是.xml文件的示例以及我想要的输出。

输入（File.xml）：

<IssueTracking>
  <Issue>
    <SequenceNum>123</SequenceNum>
    <Subject>Subject of Ticket 123</Subject>
    <Description>Line 1 in Description field of Ticket 123.
Line 2 in Description field of Ticket 123.
Line 3 in Description field of Ticket 123.</Description>
  </Issue>
  <Issue>
    <SequenceNum>124</SequenceNum>
    <Subject>Subject of Ticket 124</Subject>
    <Description>Line 1 in Description field of Ticket 124.
Line 2 in Description field of Ticket 124.
Line 3 in Description field of Ticket 124.</Description>
  </Issue>
</IssueTracking>

期望输出：

123    Subject of Ticket 123
Line 1 in Description field of Ticket 123.
Line 2 in Description field of Ticket 123.
Line 3 in Description field of Ticket 123.

124    Subject of Ticket 124
Line 1 in Description field of Ticket 124.
Line 2 in Description field of Ticket 124.
Line 3 in Description field of Ticket 124.

这是我到目前为止所做的。

with open(File.xml, 'r') as SourceFile: # Opens the file
    while 1: # Keep going through the file to the end
        SourceFileLine = SourceFile.readline() # Saves lines of the source file
        if not SourceFileLine: # Skip empty lines
            break

        SourceFileLine = SourceFileLine.strip() # Strips the whitespace

        if "<SequenceNum>" in SourceFileLine:
            SequenceNum = SourceFileLine[13:-14]  # Trims the tags, saves the field.
            continue

        if "<Subject>" in SourceFileLine:
            Subject = SourceFileLine[9:-10]
            continue

        #if "<Description>" in SourceFileLine:
        #    last_pos = SourceFile.tell() 
        #    while "</Description>" not in SourceFileLine:
        #        SourceFile.seek(last_pos)
        #        ?????
        #    
        #    Description = Description[22:]
        #    continue

        if "</Issue>" in SourceFileLine:
            print(SequenceNum, end = "\t")
            print(Subject)
        #    print(Description)
            print("\n")

我坚持在<Description>标签之间识别并保留这三行，我可以在继续浏览源文件之前打印一个字符串。现在已经扫描了几十个文件行读取循环的其他例子，我怀疑我需要的是标记我到达目标字段的点并在文件中的那一点嵌套另一个读取循环。但我还没有找到另一个这样做的例子，所以我假设我遗漏了一些基本的东西，或者有更好的方法。在此先感谢您的帮助！

使用lxml的一个示例，我强烈建议您处理数据。（nb：为Py2.x编写，但很容易适应Py3.x）

from lxml import etree
xml = """<IssueTracking>
  <Issue>
    <SequenceNum>123</SequenceNum>
    <Subject>Subject of Ticket 123</Subject>
    <Description>Line 1 in Description field of Ticket 123.
Line 2 in Description field of Ticket 123.
Line 3 in Description field of Ticket 123.</Description>
  </Issue>
  <Issue>
    <SequenceNum>124</SequenceNum>
    <Subject>Subject of Ticket 124</Subject>
    <Description>Line 1 in Description field of Ticket 124.
Line 2 in Description field of Ticket 124.
Line 3 in Description field of Ticket 124.</Description>
  </Issue>
</IssueTracking>
"""

root = etree.fromstring(xml)
for issue in root.findall('Issue'):
    as_list = [issue.find(n).text for n in ('SequenceNum', 'Subject', 'Description')]
    as_list[2] = as_list[2].split('\n')
    print as_list

打印：

['123', 'Subject of Ticket 123', ['Line 1 in Description field of Ticket 123.', 'Line 2 in Description field of Ticket 123.', 'Line 3 in Description field of Ticket 123.']]
['124', 'Subject of Ticket 124', ['Line 1 in Description field of Ticket 124.', 'Line 2 in Description field of Ticket 124.', 'Line 3 in Description field of Ticket 124.']]

请不要读取这样的XML文件，对于python，有各种库可以帮助读取XML文件。

查看python库lxml它提供了一种非常简单的方法来读取并解析XML文件，它将极大地改善您的代码。

我会解释如何使用库本身，但是他们的文档比我可以挤进这个文本区域要好得多：http://lxml.de/tutorial.html
