For 2021 - online Python 3 training - see ((here)).
Our plans were to retire in summer 2020 and see the world, but Coronavirus has lead us into a lot of lockdown programming in Python 3 and PHP 7. We can now offer tailored online training - small groups, real tutors - works really well for groups of 4 to 14 delegates. Anywhere in the world; course language English.
Please ask about private 'maintenance' training for Python 2, Tcl, Perl, PHP, Lua, etc. |
Reading in XML in Ruby with xmlsimple
The xmlsimple Ruby gem allows you to load in a file (or IO handle object or string) of XML as a multidimensional collection - hashes of arrays of hashes. There's a sample program here which includes this code to load the data from after __END__:
require 'xmlsimple'
info = XmlSimple.xml_in(DATA)
If I now the structure of what I'm getting, I can then access elements directly, for example:
p info["access"][0]["where"][0]
and if I don't know what the structure is, I can use Ruby to explore it. The source code at the link above contains a complete recursive piece of code for displaying a Hash that contains hashes, arrays and printable values to get you started!
There's an example using the alternative (standard) rexml library - [here]. (written 2016-05-18, updated 2016-05-19)
