I don't know about the properties file, but as far as the xml is concerned you can try this:
from lxml import etree
conf = """[your xml above]"""
input = "Dev"
doc = etree.XML(conf)
# to load from a file, try: etree.parse(r'path_to_file\file_name.xml')
spath = f"//env[@name='{input}']"
#the above uses f-strings to create the xpath search expression: see https://realpython.com/python-f-strings/
for dev in doc.xpath(spath):
u_name = dev.xpath('./username/text()')[0]
pw = dev.xpath('./password/text()')[0]
url= dev.xpath('./url/text()')[0]
u_name,pw,url
Output:
('oracle', 'welcome', 'devHost:1521')
Thank you. How to import the external xml file in this program? and how to add functionality for not found element case? What does "f"//env[@name='{input}']"" line do ?
@Subbu See new comments in edited answer.
That worked for me. Thanks.
@Subbu Glad it worked for you!
