loop through each xml element in xml file using extendscript toolkit cs6

[Guest]

hii all

I have an xml like:

<root>

<seq path="chapter02/ch02_reader_0.html"/>

  <seq path="chapter02/ch02_reader_1.html"/>

  <seq path="chapter02/ch02_reader_2.html"/>

  <seq path="chapter02/ch02_reader_3.html"/>

</root>

How can i read the value of the path attribute in extendscript?

I am able to read the file using File.read()

But how do i get the path attribute values?

Please suggest

Thanks

Hi,

Try this.

You got the all attributes value in the text file.

//*******************************

var main = function(){ 

  var doc = app.properties.activeDocument, 

  xmlFile = File ( Folder.temp+"/attr.xml" ), 

  xmlObject, 

  xmlAttrs, attrs = [], n = 0, i = 0, 

  sep = "\t"; 

  if (!doc) return; 

  doc.exportFile ( ExportFormat.XML, xmlFile ); 

  if ( !xmlFile.exists ) { 

  alert("Unable to read xml data"); 

  return; 

  } 

  xmlFile.open('r'); 

  xmlObject = XML ( xmlFile.read() ); 

  xmlFile.close(); 

  xmlFile.remove(); 

  xmlAttrs = xmlObject.xpath("//*//@*"); 

  n = xmlAttrs.length(); 

  while ( i<n ) { 

  attrs [ attrs.length ] = xmlAttrs.name()+sep+xmlAttrs; 

  i++; 

  } 

  if ( !attrs.length ) { 

  alert("Could'nt find any attributes."); 

  return; 

  } 

  writeFile ( "Attribute Name"+sep+"Attribute Value"+"\r"+attrs.join("\r") ); 

}; 

var writeFile = function( data ) { 

  var file = File ( Folder.desktop+"/attributes.csv" ); 

  file.open("w"); 

  file.write ( data ); 

  file.close(); 

  file.execute(); 

} 

main();

//*******************************
