I have to update an original XML file with modified values. Below is my sample XML file:
<request>
<facility>
<alternateIDs>
<alternateID code="ALT8">11111111</alternateID>
<alternateID code="ALT12">111111111</alternateID>
<alternateID code="ALT">1111111111</alternateID>
<alternateID code="ALT1">11111111</alternateID>
<alternateID code="ALT9">11111111</alternateID>
<alternateID code="ALT3">111111111</alternateID>
</alternateIDs>
</facility>
</request>
Now I want to look for alternateID code="ALT"
and change its value to 00000000
. My final file should look like:
<request>
<facility>
<alternateIDs>
<alternateID code="ALT8">11111111</alternateID>
<alternateID code="ALT12">111111111</alternateID>
<alternateID code="ALT">00000000</alternateID>
<alternateID code="ALT1">11111111</alternateID>
<alternateID code="ALT9">11111111</alternateID>
<alternateID code="ALT3">111111111</alternateID>
</alternateIDs>
</facility>
</request>
How can I achieve this using XElement
and XAttributes
? I am not familiar with XML and C#. Any help is appreciated!
Got it!
public static void ReplaceCode()
{
var root = new XmlDocument();
root.Load(@"C:\data.xml");
foreach (XmlNode e in root.GetElementsByTagName("alternateID"))
{
if (e.Attributes["code"].Value.Equals("ALT"))
{
e.FirstChild.Value = "00000000"; // FirstChild because the inner node is actually the inner text, yeah XmlNode is weird.
break;
}
}
root.Save(@"C:\data.xml");
}
Ask me anything about it and I can clarify. :)
Try this :
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Xml;
using System.Xml.Linq;
namespace ConsoleApplication34
{
class Program
{
const string FILENAME = @"c:\temp\test.xml";
static void Main(string[] args)
{
XDocument doc = XDocument.Load(FILENAME);
XElement alt = doc.Descendants("alternateID").Where(x => (string)x.Attribute("code") == "ALT").FirstOrDefault();
alt.Value = "00000000";
}
}
}
Here is a non Linq way of doing it, although linq is much cleaner if you know how to read it.
public static void ReplaceCode()
{
var root = XElement.Load(@"C:\data.xml");
foreach (var e in root.Descendants("alternateID"))
{
if (!e.Attribute("code").Value.Equals("ALT")) continue;
e.Value = "00000000";
break;
}
root.Save(@"C:\data.xml");
}
