Hi, I'd like to announce moving the *anyxml* SCR agent to *yast2.rpm*. This has been done because not only yast2-packager but also yast2-users found it suitable for parsing generic XML (see bugzilla #332187). What is this XML parser good for? It uses Perl module XML::Bare so it can parse every valid XML content, not only YaST-specific formats. Where can I find it? In yast2-2.16.11.rpm and later. How can I use it? See http://forgeftp.novell.com/yast/doc/SL10.3/scr/2.anyxml.html Is that new feature? Do we use it anywhere else? No, anyxml is in openSUSE since 10.3. We use it for Online Repositories. Example: --- anyxml.ycp --- { any xml = SCR::Read (.anyxml, "any.xml"); y2milestone ("XML: %1", xml); } --- anyxml.ycp --- --- any.xml --- <?xml version="1.0"?> <book> <author> <firstname>John</firstname> <surname>Fish</surname> </author> <copyright>2007</copyright> <content> <chapter> <title>Learn YCP in 20 Minutes</title> <para>hahaha</para> </chapter> </content> </book> --- any.xml --- Run: `/sbin/yast2 ./anyxml.ycp` and see the result in y2log... --- result in y2log --- test/anyxml.ycp:4 XML: $[ "book":$[ "author":$[ "firstname":$[ "pos":0, "value":"John" ], "pos":0, "surname":$[ "pos":1, "value":"Fish" ], "value":"\n\t" ], "content":$[ "chapter":$[ "para":$[ "pos":1, "value":"hahaha" ], "pos":0, "title":$[ "pos":0, "value":"Learn YCP in 20 Minutes" ], "value":"\n\t " ], "pos":2, "value":"\n\t" ], "copyright":$[ "pos":1, "value":2007 ], "pos":0, "value":"\n " ], "value":"" ] --- result in y2log --- author_firstname = foo["book","author","firstname","value"]:"Unknown"; Have a nice day Lukas -- Lukas Ocilka, YaST Developer (xn--luk-gla45d) ----------------------------------------------------------------- SUSE LINUX, s. r. o., Lihovarska 1060/12, Praha 9, Czech Republic
