I have this code that takes an XML file, takes the child elements (text tag) of the new_line tag and stores their index as a key in a dictionary, and the elements as values in the same dictionary. I want to delete the keys of the dictionary whose values contain "10.238", but it doesn't seem to work. Everything else works. This is my code:
import re
from xml.dom import minidom
from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET
def filter_values_by_keyword(my_dict, filter_by):
"""
Return a list of values which contains `filter_by` keyword.
Arguments:
my_dict (dict): Dict containing (...data specifics here)
filter_by (str): Keyword to look for in values of my_dict
Return:
List of filtered values
"""
return [key for key, value in my_dict.items() if filter_by in value]
def get_xml_by_tag_names(xml_path, tag_name_1, tag_name_2):
"""
Your docstring here.
"""
data = {}
xml_tree = minidom.parse(xml_path)
item_group_nodes = xml_tree.getElementsByTagName(tag_name_1)
for idx, item_group_node in enumerate(item_group_nodes):
cl_compile_nodes = item_group_node.getElementsByTagName(tag_name_2)
for _ in cl_compile_nodes:
data[idx]=[item_group_node.toxml()]
return data
def main():
data = get_xml_by_tag_names('output2.xml', 'new_line', 'text')
filtered_values = filter_values_by_keyword(data, '10.238')
for item in filtered_values:
del data[item]
for value in data.values():
myxml = ' '.join(value)
# print(myxml)
tree = ET.fromstring(myxml)
lista = ([text.text for text in tree.findall('text')])
testo = (' '.join(lista))
print(testo)
if __name__ == "__main__":
main()
And this is a sample of the XML:

Give you another example that may help you.
from simplified_scrapy import SimplifiedDoc,req,utils
html = '''
Your xml
'''
doc = SimplifiedDoc(html)
# texts = doc.getElements('text').notContains('-',attr='text').text # Filter with text
texts = doc.getElements('text').notContains('10.238',attr='size').text # Filter with size
print(texts)
Result:
['della quale non conosce che una parte;]', 'prima', '1', 'che nonconosce ancora appieno;', '2', 'che', 'viso] vi', 'su', 'm']
