Hello.

I have troubles to use Read XML Operator.

I read this xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<ROOT>
<RECORD>
<ID>id1</ID>
<TEXT name="text1">
<KEYWORD>kw1</KEYWORD>
<KEYWORD>kw2</KEYWORD>
<KEYWORD>kw3</KEYWORD>
</TEXT>
</RECORD>
<RECORD>
<ID>ID2</ID>
<TEXT name="text2">
<KEYWORD>kw4</KEYWORD>
<KEYWORD>kw5</KEYWORD>
<KEYWORD>kw6</KEYWORD>
</TEXT>
</RECORD>
</ROOT>

and want to get this table:

ID name KEYWORD
id1 text1 kw1
id1 text1 kw2
id1 text1 kw3
ID2 text2 kw4
ID2 text2 kw5
ID2 text2 kw6

 

 

How I can do it?

Xml version of process is here:

    Hi dimons91, 

     

    Have you tried to use the Import Wizard for Read XML? It will generate the xpaths for attributes automatically. All you need is to select the beans in the step 4 of configuration wizard for your wanted attributes.

    Hi, yyhuang

    Thank you! It's really helpful.

    But I made the xml file is more complex, and again difficulties arose.

     

    I added some levels of nesting.

    Because of this, an error occurs in the de-pivot operator

    May be I need use more then one Read xml operator and then join tables? When I try this way I haven't any attribute make join correctly.

     

    Here is new xml:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1251"?>
    <message>
    <datetime>
    <day>20160101</day>
    </datetime>
    <area>
    <name>AreaName1</name>
    <measuringpoint name="Device1">
    <measuringchannel desc="active">
    <period start="0000" end="0030">
    <value>3456</value>
    </period>
    <period start="0030" end="0100">
    <value>1287</value>
    </period>
    <period start="0100" end="0130">

    </period>

    </period>
    <period start="0100" end="0130">

    </measuringchannel>
    </measuringpoint>
    </area>
    <area>

    <value>1234</value>
    </period>
    </measuringchannel>
    </measuringpoint>
    </area>
    </message>

    this table I need to make:

    day name name2 desc start end value
    20160101 AreaName1 Device1 active 0 30 3456
    20160101 AreaName1 Device1 active 30 100 1287

    20160101 AreaName1 Device1 passive 30 100 1345
    20160101 AreaName1 Device1 passive 100 130 1232

    Thanks for giving me the new XML data. I fixed some of the function expressions for 'de-pivot'. It is always tricky to make the regular expressions work for that.

    Hi yyhuang,

     

    How can I open that wizard? I have seen references to it several times, but I cannot find any documentation. There is the "File">"Add Data" import dialog, but that one only allows me to import CSV and Excel. Is it part of some plugin?

     

    Thanks,

    Michael

    The wizard is available directly inside the Read XML operator.  See the attached parameter view.read xml.PNG

    You'll need to save a local copy of the XML file to run it but then you can point the resulting operator back to a web address if you want.
