ruby + XPath
To document an annoying example…
1 2 3 4 5 6 | require 'rexml/document' include REXML #namespace convenience doc = Document.new File.read("chiquita_shipments.xml") doc.elements.each("//fruits/fruit/color") do |el| puts el.parent if el.texts[0].to_s == "yellow" end |
Let’s say chiquita_shipments.xml looks like…
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 | <pallet number='1'> <fruits> <fruit> <name>banana</name> <color>yellow</color> <round>no</round> </fruit> </fruits> <pallet> |
