如何匹配字符串元素并更新plist中相应的响应字符串？

Question

我正在尝试如下更新 plist

匹配字符串字段“此提交中修复了哪些更改错误？”并更新<key>response</key>对应的字符串字段

现在的问题代码更新字符串字段What change bugs are fixed in this submission?，我如何更新相应的响应字符串字段？我也添加了预期的plist输出？有没有更简单的方法来做这个python？我哪里出错了?

代码：-

import re,os,fileinput
text1_to_search = re.compile(r'<string>What change bugs are fixed in this submission?.*</string>')
replacement1_text = """change://problem/219620> milestone: WCM-739#202 has failed to build in install: expected a type 
change://problem/215275> Fix logic for PSK-->Open update
change://problem/1265279> Hotspot keeps changing from the device I selected
"""

for line in fileinput.input(filename, inplace=True, backup='.bak'):
    print(text1_to_search.sub(replacement1_text, line)),

列表

Don't use regular expression to parse XML。使用 XML 解析器。在 Python 中，推荐使用lxml。

使用 XPath，这是一种可能的实现方式。

from lxml import etree as et

with open("input.xml") as raw:
    # Parse the XML input file into a tree.
    tree = et.parse(raw)

    # Find the interesting <string> element by first finding the <string> to
    # use as key, then the parent <dict>, then the <key> that preceeds the
    # <string> to change. Since the xpath method returns a list, we take the
    # first element of each list.
    stringUsedAsKey = tree.xpath("/plist/dict/dict/string"
            + "[./text()=\"What change bugs are fixed in this submission? (Please include the change number or URL followed by the title)\"]")[0]
    interestingDict = stringUsedAsKey.getparent()
    stringToChange = interestingDict.xpath("key[text()=\"response\"]/following-sibling::string")[0]

    # Change the text of the <string>.
    stringToChange.text = "updated text"

    # Write the changed tree back to an XML file.
    tree.write("output.xml", pretty_print=True, xml_declaration=True, encoding="UTF-8")
