I want to dump out part of the Data tree.
I've tried variations on:
foreach child [xpathEval $node/*]
where $node is "/data", but that seems to get me the values, not the names.
Similarly, [get /data] just gives me the values of the children of data, not the names.
If I want to enumerate attributes, what's the xpath?
set attrcount [xpathEval count($node/*\[$n\]/attribute::*)]
for {set a 1} {$a <= $attrcount} {incr a}
set attrname [xpathEval name($node/*\[$n\]/attribute::*/@*\[$a\])]
The above doesn't work. It finds the $n'th node, but not the $a'th attribute.
I've tried various combinations, but haven't hit on the right one yet.
Got it! Here's a test case to dump out your /data stack. Be careful, though: If you set max too big, you're going to get a ton of data!
There are some issues with my script: It doesn't pass attributes correctly, so things get out of hand rather quickly. I can't delete it, so I'll issue this warning, and put out a new version when I get it working. Right now I'm having issues with
Unable to evaluate "set nodecount [xpathEval count($node/*)]" : Invalid query count(/data/parameters/testcase[@pt:description=Name of testcase to run and @pt:source=comp.ffpt]/*)
Now, this is a bit deceiving, because I'm not sure if there are really single quotes there or not. I call the routine with:
dump_param level 3 node=/data/parameters/testcase[@pt:description='Name of testcase to run' and @pt:source='comp.ffpt']
And I've verified that the quotes are really there.
Here's one that works better. Bear in mind, it can still churn for a long time if you make the level too deep. If there's any recursion in /data, you could get stuck. Maybe the next step is to check for recursion? ...no promises there.
I've also added a parameter -find, which takes a regular expression. If you give this parameter, then only nodes matching the RE will be displayed.
