Using Element.tree how do I parse a tag within a tag?-CodePudding

I am new to coding and I'm trying to parse the following fields out of this entry:

Name,Category,Risk,Member

I've seem to write code to get me 3/4 fields but for some reason when I try to get text from the "member" field I get an error message please tell me what i am doing wrong again i am new so if you have an easier way of doing this im open to suggestions.

<application>
  <entry id="120" name="100bao" ori_country="USA" ori_language="English">
   <category>general-internet</category>
   <subcategory>file-sharing</subcategory>
   <technology>peer-to-peer</technology>
   <evasive-behavior>yes</evasive-behavior>
   <consume-big-bandwidth>yes</consume-big-bandwidth>

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

mytree = ET.parse('C:/Documents/Parse Folder/apps.xml')
root = mytree.getroot()

for entry in root.findall('entry'):
    category = entry.find('category').text
    risk = entry.find('risk').text
    member = entry.find('member').text

print(entry.attrib, category, risk, member)

member = entry.find('member').text

AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no     attribute 'text'

CodePudding user response：

It's because member isn't a child of entry so you need to supply an XPath.

member = entry.find('./default/port/member').text

(Untested since the code in your question is untestable as-is.)

Python

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

mytree = ET.parse('apps.xml')
root = mytree.getroot()

for entry in root.findall('entry'):
    name = entry.get('name')
    category = entry.find('category').text
    risk = entry.find('risk').text
    member = entry.find('default/port/member').text

    print(f'Name: "{name}"\nCategory: "{category}"\nRisk: "{risk}"\nMember: "{member}"')

Output

Name: "100bao"
Category: "general-internet"
Risk: "5"
Member: "tcp/3468,6346,11300"
