我之前使用XML包来解析HTML和XML,并且对xPath有一个基本的把握。但是,我被要求考虑XML数据,其中重要位由元素本身的文本和属性以及相关节点中的文本和属性的组合决定。我从来没有这样做过。例如

我想提取所有作者姓名: 1)location元素的文本值包含“NY” 2)author元素不包含“ref”属性;这就是作者标签中不存在ref的地方
我最终需要在给定的书店中将提取的作者连接在一起,这样我的结果数据框就是每个商店一行。我想将bookstore id保存为我的数据框中的附加字段,以便我可以独特地引用每个商店。 由于只有第一家bokstore在纽约,因此这个简单示例的结果如下所示:
1 Jane Smith John Doe Karl Pearson William Gosset
如果另一个书店在其位置包含“NY”,则它将包含第二行,依此类推。
在这些错综复杂的条件下,我是否过多地要求解析器?
答案 0 :(得分:3)
require(XML)
xdata <- xmlParse(apptext)
xpathSApply(xdata,'//*/location[text()[contains(.,"NY")]]/following-sibling::books/.//author[not(@ref)]')
#[[1]]
#<author>Jane Smith</author>
#[[2]]
#<author>John Doe</author>
#[[3]]
#<author>Karl Pearson</author>
#[[4]]
#<author>William Gosset</author>
故障:
获取包含'NY'的所有地点
//*/location[text()[contains(.,"NY")]]
获取这些节点的书籍
/following-sibling::books
从这些笔记中获取所有没有ref属性的作者
/.//author[not(@ref)]
如果您需要文本,请使用xmlValue:
> xpathSApply(xdata,'//*/location[text()[contains(.,"NY")]]/following-sibling::books/.//author[not(@ref)]',xmlValue)
[1] "Jane Smith" "John Doe" "Karl Pearson" "William Gosset"
更新:
child.nodes <- xpathSApply(xdata,'//*/location[text()[contains(.,"NY")]]/following-sibling::books/.//author[not(@ref)]')
ans.func<-function(x){
xpathSApply(x,'.//ancestor::bookstore[@id]/@id')
}
sapply(child.nodes,ans.func)
# id id id id
#"1" "1" "1" "1"

请注意,您之前已bookstore

已消失,因此我使用了foo
require(XML)
xdata <- xmlParse(xdata)
child.nodes <- getNodeSet(xdata,'//*/location[text()[contains(.,"foo")]]/following-sibling::books/.//author[not(@ref)]')
ans.func<-function(x){
xpathSApply(x,'.//ancestor::Bookstore[@id]/@id')

sapply(child.nodes,ans.func)
