# XML-Extractor

An XML extractor for products matching specific elements using regular expressions written in Python. There's a progress bar too while fetching the XML.

## WHY?

I personally use this script to extract (match) products matching certain categories from an XML url containing thousands of products and get only the ones I want, the ones I select and output it in another file.

Use it to create custom (category specific) XMLs and import the products of 'output.xml' in WpAllImport.

## USAGE

Change selector values: Select an element (change it to match yours) like ____ for example and match products belonging to that category, editing the variable value of 'desired_category' in the lines below:

```

selectorprefix = ""

selectorsuffix = ""

```

and

```

desired_category = re.compile("My category name.*")

```

level3_category_description is an element of a **``````** entry. Selecting that and changing ```desired_category``` string value (which also supports regex) __selects__ the product category. 

So if you want to select another category, you do so by changing ```desired_category = re.compile("Smartphones.*")``` to match your selection.

You should also change the ```output_file_name``` variable to the name of your output file because the old file will get overwritten.

### Example product entry

### OUTPUT

The script will output matching products (or rather entries) in an XML file called **output.xml**.

Enjoy :)
