Demonstrate the XML FindNextRecord Method

See more XML Examples

Imagine we have an XML file as follows:

<CompleteMultipartUpload>
  <Part>
    <PartNumber>1</PartNumber>
    <ETag>abc</ETag>
  </Part>
  <Part>
    <PartNumber>2</PartNumber>
    <ETag>def</ETag>
  </Part>
  <Part>
    <PartNumber>3</PartNumber>
    <ETag>ghi</ETag>
  </Part>
</CompleteMultipartUpload>

We want to find the record where PartNumber = 2. To do so, we simply position ourselves at the first "Part" tag, and then call FindNextRecord. (See below..) Chilkat2-Python

import chilkat2

xml = chilkat2.Xml()

xml.LoadXmlFile("qa_data/xml/multipartUpload.xml")

# Position ourselves at the 1st record.
xml.GetChild2(0)

# foundRec is a CkXml
foundRec = xml.FindNextRecord("PartNumber","2")
if (xml.LastMethodSuccess == True):
    print("Found the record where PartNumber = 2.")
    print(foundRec.GetXml())

    # Let's examine the ETag for this record...
    print("ETag for PartNumber 2 = " + foundRec.GetChildContent("ETag"))

else:
    print("No record exists where PartNumber = 2.")

# What if we want to find the record where ETag = "abc"?
# foundRec is a CkXml
foundRec = xml.FindNextRecord("ETag","abc")
if (xml.LastMethodSuccess == True):
    print("Found the record where ETag = abc")
    print(foundRec.GetXml())

    # Let's examine the PartNumber for this record...
    print("Part number for Etag(abc) = " + foundRec.GetChildContent("PartNumber"))

else:
    print("No record exists where ETag = abc.")

# Go back to the XML root..
xml.GetRoot2()
