I have an xml file. I didn't make this file so I don't want to make any changes. I want to print the screen by pulling the information that provides certain conditions from the file. The value I want to get is on the same level as the value I'll do with the comparison. So even if I can check the condition, I can't pull the other data. How can I do this?

asd.xml

<report>

    <name>asd</name>

    <description>example description - 1</description>

</report>

<report>

    <name>dsa</name>

    <description>example description - 2</description>

</report>

<report>

    <name>asd</name>

    <description>example description - 3</description>

</report>

asd.py

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

tree = ET.parse('asd.xml')

root = tree.getroot()



for report_1 in root:

    for report_2 in report_1:

        if result.tag == 'name':

            if result.text == 'asd':

                print ?

I find the ones that are equal to asd by retrieving the value from tag name "name". but I cannot access the same level decription value.

I want output

name: asd

description: example description - 1

name: asd

description: example description - 3

Your file produces an error:

ParseError: junk after document element: line 5, column 0

Should it look like this:

<data>

    <report>

        <name>asd</name>

        <description>example description - 1</description>

    </report>

    <report>

        <name>dsa</name>

        <description>example description - 2</description>

    </report>

    <report>

        <name>asd</name>

        <description>example description - 3</description>

    </report>

</data>

You could use the following code:

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET



tree = ET.parse('asd.xml')



root = tree.getroot()



flag = False



for report in root:

    flag = False

    for row in report:

        if row.tag == 'name' and row.text == 'asd':

            print('name: asd')

            flag = True

        if flag and row.tag == 'description':

            print('description: {}'.format(row.text))

That would provide you with desired result:

name: asd

description: example description - 1

name: asd

description: example description - 3

What about this?

asd.xml

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

<root>

    <report>

        <name>asd</name>

        <description>example description - 1</description>

    </report>

    <report>

        <name>dsa</name>

        <description>example description - 2</description>

    </report>

    <report>

        <name>asd</name>

        <description>example description - 3</description>

    </report>

</root>

Python3

import xml.etree.ElementTree as ET

tree = ET.parse(r"asd.xml")

root = tree.getroot()



for report in root:

    if report.find('name').text == "asd":

        print("name: ", report.find('name').text)

        print("description: ", report.find('description').text)
