Thalon - You need to add a new node with the [+1] functionality in your xpath.
Here's my code to add a new question to my XML file and then the answer and points nodes below that. Be sure you create any/all parents before you try creating children of them or it won't work. Below I create the question AND the num nodes in the same statement, but the rest I just have to create & set the siblings to num.
| Code: |
;;If the question exists already, delete it so we can re-save
if( xpath(theXML, "/root/table[num=" . tableNum . "]/question[num=" . question . "]/count()") )
{
xpath(theXML, "/root/table[num=" . tableNum . "]/question[num=" . question . "]/remove()")
}
;;Save all the properties for the question here
xpath(theXML, "/root/table[num=" . tableNum . "]/question[+1]/num[+1]/text()", question )
xpath(theXML, "/root/table[num=" . tableNum . "]/question[num=" . question . "]/answer[+1]/text()", answer )
xpath(theXML, "/root/table[num=" . tableNum . "]/question[num=" . question . "]/points[+1]/text()", points )
|
My XML file for reference:
| Code: |
<root>
<table>
<num>3</num>
<pad>30</pad>
<question>
<num>1</num>
<answer>1</answer>
<points>0</points>
</question>
<question>
<num>4</num>
<answer>1</answer>
<points>1</points>
</question>
</table>
</root>

Hmm.... there is still one problem  (at least one I've discovered so far)
I can't add elements to nodes with an attribute containing a slash!?
Here is a little sample-code: | Code: | IfExist, test.txt
FileDelete, test.txt
IfExist, test2.txt
FileDelete, test2.txt
XMLDoc =
(
<files>
</files>
)
xpath_load(XMLDoc)
xpath(XMLDoc, "/files/file[+1]/@name/text()", "My Test")
xpath(XMLDoc, "/files/file[@name='My Test']/Sprache[+1]/text()", "Test1")
xpath_save(XMLDoc, "test.txt")
msgbox See test.txt
xpath(XMLDoc, "/files/file[+1]/@name/text()", "My/Test")
xpath(XMLDoc, "/files/file[@name='My/Test']/Sprache[+1]/text()", "Test2")
xpath_save(XMLDoc, "test2.txt")
msgbox See test2.txt |
The resulting file test2.txt doesn't please me: | Code: | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<files>
<file name="My Test">
<Sprache>Test1</Sprache>
</file>
<file name="My/Test" />
</files> |
Even if the code is the same except the slash in the attributes value the result is different (no language(Sprache)-node for "My/Test"; Compare green and right node above).
Is there a way to "mask" the slash (and other problematic signs) to get this code working? Or will I have to find a way to workaround this (by replacing the character for example)?
Thx for your help!
Thalon, XML noob

Found the problem so far, it's a bug in xpathv3
| Code: | ; resolve xpath components to: absolute node path, attributes and predicates (if any)
Loop, Parse, step, / |
At this position it splits my text in 2 halfs at the literal slash. Therefore the resulting path is wrong and it doesn't find the right node.
I'm trying to fix it myself, but I've to step into the code...

I've added a quick-n-dirty fix for the problem: | Code: | ;Loop added by Thalon to remove a problem with slash in node-values.
Loop, Parse, step, '
{
if ReplaceSlashInNextNode = 1
{
StringReplace, NewNodeValue, A_LoopField, /, %scb%, All
StringReplace, step, step, %A_LoopField%, %NewNodeValue%
}
if InStr(A_LoopField, "=")
ReplaceSlashInNextNode = 1
else
ReplaceSlashInNextNode = 0
}
; resolve xpath components to: absolute node path, attributes and predicates (if any)
Loop, Parse, step, /,
{
s = %A_LoopField%
StringReplace, s, s, %scb%, /, All ;added by Thalon to remove a problem with slash in node-values.
If (InStr(s, "*") == 1) ; regex mode for wildcards
{
re = 1
s := "(?:\w+:)?\w+" . SubStr(s, 2)
} |
Search for the red-marked-part in xpath v3 and replace it with the whole snippet. My added code is marked blue.
I've used the end-of-file-character (in variable "scb") to replace the slash, because it isn't an allowed character and shouldn't cause any harm there..

Is the code at this link current? And if I'm still having issues, would you suggest I try to tweak version 3, or version 4?
(The fact that I get to even ask such a question is awesome -- thanks Titan!)
Cheers,

| Posted: Sun Mar 29, 2009 7:28 am Post subject: a problem about how to add new node into xml |
|
|
Firstly,I am not a native English speaker,so there may be some ambiguous expresions.I plan to use xpath.ahk to add new information in to a xml document.
my code is below
| Code: |
username=marry
userage=18
XMLfile = %A_ScriptDir%\test.xml
xpath_load(xml, XMLfile)
xpath(feed, "/UserList/User[+1]/text()",username)
path(feed, "/NameList/User[".username."]/Userage[+1]/text()", userage)
path(feed, "/NameList/User[".username."]/AddDate[+1]/text()", A_DD . "/" . A_MM . "/" . A_YYYY)
xpath_save(feed, XMLfile)
|
But the it show a error.
the tip is that the follow variable name contains an illegal character:username."]
addiontally,when I am not putting the variable name into this parameter,the xpath.ahk works.But the xml file's is only covered by the new content, not added. how can I add new content in xml file?
please give me a way to solve this problem.thanks for everyone who give a galance on this.

Try to make spaces around variable and dot for merging strings in expressions. Here a general example:
| Code: | greeting := "Hello "
greeting := greeting . "world. I am from Mars." |
instead of greeting."world" |

In old days with xpath 1, I did often this:
| Code: | ConfigDoc := XmlDoc(ConfigFile)
NodeCommands := XPath(ConfigDoc, "/hiscoreRecConfig/commands")
MsgBox % XPath(NodeCommands, "/hiscoreRecConfig/commands/command[@name=mame]/command/text()") |
to enable faster calls, because in this case xpath() does not need to search full document, just the little section which is needed. (this works.)
If I now try this with xpath 3, ill get empty string:
| Code: | xpath_load(ConfigDoc, ConfigFile)
NodeCommands := XPath(ConfigDoc, "/hiscoreRecConfig/commands")
MsgBox % XPath(NodeCommands , "/hiscoreRecConfig/commands/command[@name=mame]/command/text()") |
(changed a copy paste error)
it does not work anymore. I want use subsets / parts of a xml file. Why does it not work? On bigger xml files, could this not be a speed up at Loops with high frequently calls of same subset?
Here is the configuration file:
| Code: | <?xml version="1.0" encoding="iso-8859-1"?>
<hiscoreRecConfig>
<options>
<option name="autoSave">0</option>
<option name="exportAutoRun">1</option>

<command name="scripteditor">C:\Programme\Vim\vim72\gvim.exe</command>
<command name="editor">C:\Programme\Vim\vim72\gvim.exe</command>
</commands>
</hiscoreRecConfig> |
|
Now I got it to work. There was not any problem with that. After
| Code: | | NodeCommands := xpath(ConfigDoc, "/hiscoreRecConfig/commands") |
the variable
contains the right node. But MsgBox is not able to show the content from that variable. The variable must be reformatted with
| Code: | | xpath_load(NodeCommands) |
and then accessing in following way
| Code: | | MsgBox % XPath(NodeCommands , "/commands/command[@name=mame]/text()") |
should show

note: xpath v3 is twice slower than xpath v1 but less buggy and works great. |

Hi there,
hopefully you can help me. I have a problem with hyphens ("-") in node-names, like for example <sur-name>. Nothing is returned in these cases when I try to fetch the text.
I use this script for testing:
| Code: |
xml := xpath_load(xmlvar, "test2.xml")
name := xpath(xmlvar, "/addressBook/address[2]/firstName/text()")
msgbox %name%
name := xpath(xmlvar, "/addressBook/address[2]/sur-name/text()")
msgbox %name%
|
This is the test2.xml file that I use (it is not the actual xml file that I download from the internet), but anyway it should work the same way:
| Code: |
<addressBook>
<address>
<firstName>John</firstName>
<sur-name>Smith</sur-name>
<email>smithj@world.org</email>
<tel type = "work">234-123-222</tel>
</address>
<address>
<firstName>Alice</firstName>
<sur-name>Brown</sur-name>
<email>Alice.Brown@europe.com</email>
<tel type = "home">22-33-444</tel>
<tel type = "work">11-43-222</tel>
</address>
<address>
<firstName>George</firstName>
<sur-name>White</sur-name>
<email>gw@rock.com</email>
</address>
</addressBook>
|
There is probably some parsing problem with the hyphen. A work-around would probably be to replace the hyphens beforehand, but may be there is a easier way...
Thank you in advance for your help. |

|
|
I'm trying to write a script to recursively modify all XML files in a user profile folder. I'm not sure if this is a problem with my syntax in AHK or xpath. I suspect that it's either that it doesn't like the space or the @ in the path. My script and error message are below. The MsgBox is only for my debugging purposes and will be removed when it's done. Any assistance would be greatly appreciated.
AHK Script
| Code: |
#NoEnv ; Recommended for performance and compatibility with future AutoHotkey releases.
SendMode Input ; Recommended for new scripts due to its superior speed and reliability.
SetWorkingDir %A_ScriptDir% ; Ensures a consistent starting directory.
#include xpath.ahk
Loop, %A_AppData%\Pandion\Profiles\settings.xml, , 1 ; Recurse into subfolders.
{
xpath_load(%A_LoopFileFullPath%) ; load an XML document
xpath(xmlfile, "settings/history_store() ", "true")
MsgBox, 4, , Filename = %A_LoopFileFullPath%`n`nContinue?
IfMsgBox, No
break
xpath_save(%A_LoopFileFullPath%, feed) ; write XML
}
|
And here's the error
---------------------------
updatepandionlogging.ahk
---------------------------
Error: The following variable name contains an illegal character:
"\\server\RedirectedFolders\usernameremoved\Application Data\Pandion\Profiles\admin@chat.domain.local\settings.xml"

449: StringReplace,doc,xml,,,,,All

020: Loop,%A_AppData%\Pandion\Profiles\settings.xml,,1
022: {
---> 023: xpath_load(%A_LoopFileFullPath%)
024: xpath(xmlfile, "settings/history_store() ", "true")
028: MsgBox,4,,Filename = %A_LoopFileFullPath%
Continue?
029: IfMsgBox,No
030: Break
033: xpath_save(%A_LoopFileFullPath%, feed)
035: }
035: Exit
---------------------------
OK
