Can you give us a link to a complete .xml file as an example?

Find in XML and Copy

This question must probably does not belong here but I tried different
groups but got no answer.
I would very much appreciate if some body can help I have an XML file that
opens with internet explorer. Now I am trying to find for example all of the
following: ItemField Name="image-url. Then copy all the value for example
Value="http://www.abc.com/catalog/b3_1_424_1.JPG" /> . all the web addresses
found.

Re: Find in XML and Copy

In short, you want to find all the web addresses in the XML file and list
them in something like a text file? If not that, Copy them to where? Is this
just a once-off job or are you planning on processing a lot of these things?
If the former, I should think it's pretty obvious -- use Edit>Find,
Copy/Paste,etc. For the latter, what you request sounds like an easy job for
VBScript. I certainly don't know of any ready-made tool that would do the
job.

Re: Find in XML and Copy

Find In Context [an application] or similar might be what poster is looking
for.

Ultra Edit, NotePad++, and several other programs have a Find In Files
search tool, which may also work.

Thank You. It is both for now a one time job, and in the future I might need
it again. With the Edit>Find,

Re: Find in XML and Copy

Boolean searches? I dunno. Don't know enough about the language to say.
Would seem to me to be a fairly complicated search term. Locate the URL only
if directly following Str2. And then define its beginning and end. And then,
like I said, Copy to what? Do those tools you cite generate lists?

But I know even less about the OP's desired results, so there you go.

Re: Find in XML and Copy

You still haven't answered the main question: Copy to where? A simple text
list? Something more complicated?

From what you say, you need a program or script, or other tool. Much too
tedious by hand. I don't think what MEB suggests is what you're looking for,
but you should at least check them out.

Re: Find in XML and Copy

Maybe you'd like to learn? It's quick (and dirty) compared to most
programming languages.

Re: Find in XML and Copy

First is a snap, and one or more of those programs MEB suggested might
actually do such a thing, though I still think they'd have a hard time
actually, properly, locating the strings you want to copy out. No problem
with VBScript. Might take me a couple of hours, but I don't practice much.
For an Excel file, you'd just make the extension CSV instead of TXT.

Re: Find in XML and Copy

XML files are plain text. Use facilities for searching and copying etc that
you would use for a text file.

Re: Find in XML and Copy

I will have to go one by one and will never finish. I tried I opened Excel
and then imported the data from the xml file and then went to find all and
it found all the entries but you can not copy and paste from there you would
still have to copy each one separate. There must be an easier way.

Re: Find in XML and Copy

Using Excel Find, you found all the URLs and they were automatically all
highlighted, all at once?

Re: Find in XML and Copy

In case you can't see Franc's post, he suggests you put a copy online (not
posted here to the NG, put it on a private website.) Put a link here. Then
we can see just what you're talking about and play with the file ourselves.

If you want the result to be an Excel file, that suggests that it would be
simplest to write a macro, if a macro can do the job.

Re: Find in XML and Copy

I'm surprised that you are using EXCEL as your text editor.

using WORD is much easier (although there are specialised text editors that
would make it a snap). Use Find and Replace (with judicious use of the
special characters, such as paragraph mark or 'any letter' etc) to make the
text you require significant - eg bounded by tilde (~) or some other
character that doesn't otherwise appear. Get this text onto a line by
itself, probably by using replace to insert a paragraph mark at the
appropriate point. Then sort. Then delete everything you don't want (it
will be in contiguous lines). Then remove any characters you added.
