Code: Select all
I am trying to parse an xml file to csv. I then want to sort this csv file by one of the columns and display that in notepad. The xml file looks like this:
Code: Select all
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-16"?>
<Searches>
<Search Name="Billy, Jean (#1234)" Id="15" Date="31.07.2018 11:17:00" SearchString="1234"/>
...
</Searches>
What I want to get as a file is this:
Code: Select all
Billy, Jean (#1234) 15 31.07.2018 11:17:00 1234
Doe, John (#1244) 23 22.06.2018 09:12:33 1244
...
Code: Select all
Name="Billy, Jean (#1234)" Id="15" Date="31.07.2018 11:17:00" SearchString="1234"
Name="
Id="
Date="
SearchString="
and the ending double quotes?
And how can I sort my file by colums, e. g. Name or Date?
Actually my AHK code looks like this:

FileAppend, %result%, out_file

Run notepad %out_file%

Code: Select all
loop parse, file, `nI then tried to get rid of these by testing this code using regex:
Code: Select all

; To do
; ------------------------------------------------------------------------------
; _extract every string between double quotes, delet rest of line
; _convert every 2nd double quote to a comma, delet all remaing double quotes.
; Thus generate a csv file
;_sort csv file by time stamp or name etc.

Thanks a lot!
