XML DOM

[Carlo Sette]

Hi all,
when I try to Parse a sample XML ducument Python display the follow error
message:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "./mysql.py", line 57, in ?
DOM=xml.dom.min idom.parseStrin g(XML)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/xml/dom/minidom.py", line 1925, in
parseString
return expatbuilder.pa rseString(strin g)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/xml/dom/expatbuilder.py ", line 940, in
parseString
return builder.parseSt ring(string)
File "/usr/local/lib/python2.3/xml/dom/expatbuilder.py ", line 223, in
parseString
parser.Parse(st ring, True)
xml.parsers.exp at.ExpatError: mismatched tag: line 1, column 112
----------------------------------------------------------------------------

I used xml.dom.minodom module and the source code is:


#!/usr/local/bin/python

import xml.dom.minidom

XML="""<?xml version="1.0"?> <tabedata><row> <EMPLOYEE_ID>55 ></EMPLOYEE_ID>
<FIRST>Carlo</FIRST><LAST>Set te</LAST></row></tabledata>"""


DOM=xml.dom.min idom.parseStrin g(XML)

----------------------------------------------------------------------------

Do you have any suggestions??

Thanks in advance


Carlo

Problem seems to be around column 112:
[color=blue][color=green][color=darkred]
>>> XML[110:130][/color][/color][/color]
'</tabledata>'

Can't find a match for the tabledata close tag, why is that?

Oops. Spelt it differently in the open tag.

That's not XML, but it's close. There's a '>' after the 55. Also, it
says 'tabedata' instead of 'tabledata' in the opening root tag.

I would guess that its either the misspelling of the first <tabledata>
tag (missing an L), or the unescaped > sign right after the 55. If
these were typos when you transcribed to the e-mail, check your
script--you might have other typos in your XML string.

Also, I believe entity names are generally lowercase; i.e. <employee_id>
vs. <EMPLOYEE_ID> . I don't work w/ XML enough to recall if this is
required or not; so disregard if I'm way off base :)
