Find in XML and Copy

[S1L1Y1]

Re: Find in XML and Copy

That is the problem it seems to me that you can not highlight them all
because I tried to click shift and move down but not happened only the next
one got highlighted, or maybe I don't know how to do it here.

Re: Find in XML and Copy

I was able to open it with word. Now I am trying to find all that start with
www.adc.com/, but the end is not the same. I am sending a sample;
="http://www.abc.com/catalog/b3_1_424_1.JPG" .
What do I enter in the find box?

Re: Find in XML and Copy

I did some experimenting of my own and saw what happens. For some reason
when you Find All, it turns into a multiple selection that can't be copied,
unlike when you select several separate cells manually, where copying is for
some reason OK. Go figure.

Re: Find in XML and Copy

A macro is program, so you have to learn to write in that program's
language, which is some form of VBA, Visual Basic for Applications. Like
VBScript, VBA is also fairly easy to learn. Look in your Office Help or
Google it.

Re: Find in XML and Copy

Your sample is too tiny to for me be sure, but I would use something like
this:

Find Value="
Replace with ^p~

Find "
Replace with ^p

Sort

Delete all lines not starting with ~

Find ~
Replace with

(if i remember correctly that ^& is the find string).. If you post a few
lines - say 10 - then I can see if the above will work or not.

Re: Find in XML and Copy

Here's a script I wrote to do the job. You're welcome to try it out. I'm
putting it on my website inside a ZIP file for easier downloading. You
should create a folder just for this script. When you want to analyze an XML
file, put it into the same folder with the script, then run the script.

I am posting the contents here for review, but it's better to download the
file. DO NOT try to copy the script from this post for use unless you know
VBS and can fix the broken lines due to wrapping. If you want to put the
results file into an Excel sheet, change the extension from TXT to CSV. Or
paste the text into Word for sorting. I did not concern myself with removing
any possible duplications or sorting. Yet.

Feedback is welcome. To a certain degree, <s>.

Re: Find in XML and Copy

This will work. Create the document as a txt file and use Open With to open
it in WORD. Use Find and Replace as indicated:

Find What: Value="http
Replace With: ^p~
Replace All

Find What: "/>
Replace With:
Replace All

Sort

Delete all lines not starting with ~

Find What: ~
Replace With: http
Replace All

Re: Find in XML and Copy

Only problem would be if there is a ~ (tilde) in any of the URLs. Seems to
me I've seen them, but perhaps not?

Re: Find in XML and Copy

Bravo! Bravo! Bravo! YOU ARE GREAT.
We are starting to get there. Now I have a problem that it does not sort in
the original order. When I copy and paste it to my Excel file it has to
match to the other columns.

Re: Find in XML and Copy

On Wed, 21 May 2008 18:26:09 -0400, "S1L1Y1" <s1l1y1@yahoo.com> put
finger to keyboard and composed:

><ItemField Name="price" Value="13.27"/>

If I understand the problem correctly, then the following one-line
command may be close to what you want:

find /i "<ItemField Name=""image-url Value=" "filename.xml" | find /i
"http://" > your_path_name\urls.txt

Execute the command in a DOS window (watch out for word wrap). The
URLs are written to a file named your_path_name\urls.txt.
"Filename.xml" is the name of your XML file. I'm assuming that
"ItemField Name" and "Value" appear on the same line. An actual
example XML file would have helped.

Re: Find in XML and Copy

That's why it is so important that you provide a FULL description of what
you are trying to do BEFORE we start to tackle your problem. You haven't
explained why you need to use EXCEL, which is very limited for this type of
exercise.

After the replace and just before the sort, cut and paste the whole thing
into a blank EXCEL sheet. Add a column to the right with an incrementing
number (using a formula), copy the column, and paste special as values back
to the same location as the original column. Then sort in EXCEL, delete the
rows you don't need, and re-sort by the extra column to get back to the
original order. Delete the extra column. I don't know whether you an then
finish it in EXCEL, (probably) or you need to export as text and finish in
WORD, but the process is essentially the same.

Re: Find in XML and Copy

Any character that doesn't appear elsewhere in the file will work - the
vertical bar is also a good choice. If there's a difficulty, use an
unlikely combination of unusual characters instead of a single character.

Re: Find in XML and Copy

You are close to the most frustrating person to land in this NG in a long
time!

WHAT DO YOU WANT TO DO? Not the intermediate steps you keep asking about,
like extracting and sorting. What is your FINAL GOAL? What does your Excel
file look like?

Here's my email address: gryst_at_grystmill.com (please tell me you know how
to make that a real email address.) Please send me as many XML files as you
have for samples, and your Excel file(s), too. Then I can put it on my
website for others to download and review, also.

If you haven't totally pissed off everyone, you may yet get an answer. A
search of Google Groups shows that you have indeed gotten LOTS of attempts
help you, in this group and in the Office.Misc group (and why not Excel?)
Oh, and now a couple of weak attempts in the Excel group where you haven't
given them any real info to work with either. (If you give me the files to
post, even the Excel guys & gals can access them.)

Re: Find in XML and Copy

Jeff,
If you can help me with one more thing I will very much appreciate I asked
already this questions and got replies but I don't understand them.
I have an Excel files with a column of only the end of the urls. I want to
add to each one the same beginning of the url, www.adc.com/. How do I do it
without having to go to each individual and paste?

Re: Find in XML and Copy

Yes - if you create a column of incrementing values BEFORE doing the sort
then use that column to sort on AFTER doing the delete, like I said..

Re: Find in XML and Copy

You already got an answer to this one.

Create a formula in an adjacent column that uses the CONCATENATE function to
prepend a fixed text string to the beginning of the text in the first
column.

Put the formula in the first cell of the column, test it, then copy down to
automatically put it in each other cell. Copy and paste special (Values) to
turn it from a formula into a value.

These questions are best asked in an EXCEL group - they have nothing to do
with W98.
