Currently I have this code where I am using ElementTree as to parse the xml file but it is not producing any output(it doesn't print anything).

import io

import xml.etree.ElementTree

tree = xml.etree.ElementTree.parse('xmlFile1.xml').getroot()

parent_map = {c: p for p in tree.getiterator() for c in p}

def search_data(first_text, next_text):
    data_with_marks = [data_node
                       for data_node in tree.findall(".//Data")
                       if data_node.text == first_text]
    for marks_elem in data_with_marks:
        cell_elem = parent_map[marks_elem]
        row_elem = parent_map[cell_elem]
        cell_nodes = list(row_elem)
        curr_index = cell_nodes.index(cell_elem)
        next_index = curr_index + 1
        next_data_node = next(iter(cell_nodes[next_index]))
        if next_data_node.text == next_text:
            return [next(iter(cell_node))
                    for cell_node in cell_nodes[curr_index:curr_index + 6]]
    return []

if __name__ == '__main__':
    for node in search_data("Marks", "Marks of Student"):
        print(node.text)

I am trying to look for lxml and XPath but don't know how to do that. How can I modify my current code to use lxml and XPath to parse the xml file and get the output I want?

Here is a way to extract the wanted information with ElementTree:

from xml.etree import ElementTree as ET

NSMAP = {"ss": "urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"}

tree = ET.parse("xmlFile1.xml")

# Find all Row elements
rows = tree.findall(".//ss:Row", NSMAP)

# For each Row, get all Data 'grandchildren'
for row in rows:
    data = row.findall("ss:Cell/ss:Data", NSMAP)

    if data and len(data) == 5:     
        # If first two Data elements are what we want, print out all Data element values
        if data[0].text == "Marks" and data[1].text == "Marks of Student":
            for d in data:
                print (d.text)

Output:

Marks
Marks of Student
0
96
65.71

The default namespace is urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet, and the elements you are interested in are in this namespace. That's why we need to use the NSMAP dictionary. See https://docs.python.org/3/library/xml.etree.elementtree.html#parsing-xml-with-namespaces.

I am getting IndexError: list index out of range at if data[0].text == "Marks" and data[1].text == "Marks of Student":

mzjn Over a year ago

There is no error checking in the code. If there are Rows with no Cell/Data children, for example, that will trigger an error. I suppose that your actual XML is more complicated than the one in the question. My main point was that you must take namespaces into account.

Ok. How can I check/remove Rows with no Cell/Data?

The code works with lxml too btw (just change the import statement to from lxml import etree as ET).
