Hi, I am a beginner in XML and Python as well and I am trying to learn as much as possible by writing some examples myself. I created a very simple xml file with just one element. Then I loaded the file into the DOM tree using the 4DOM parser. Once the it was loaded, I appended a couple of child elements to the root. This was all fine, but when I went back to the xml file nothing was updated. Isn't the xml file supposed to be updated automatically from the DOM tree? If not, what I do have to do to see the changes? Thanks. Donald Traboini This is the python script --------------------------- import sys from xml.dom.ext.reader import Sax2 # create Reader object reader = Sax2.Reader() # parse the document doc = reader.fromStream(someFileName.xml) new = document.createElement('chapter') new.setAttribute('number', '5') document.documentElement.appendChild(new) _________________________________________________________________ Tired of spam?
