![Task](http://static.miraheze.org/rosettacodewiki/thumb/b/ba/Rcode-button-task-crushed.png/64px-Rcode-button-task-crushed.png)
You are encouraged to solve this task according to the task description, using any language you may know.
Given the following XML fragment, extract the list of student names using whatever means desired. If the only viable method is to use XPath, refer the reader to the task XML and XPath.
<lang xml><Students>
<Student Name="April" Gender="F" DateOfBirth="1989-01-02" /> <Student Name="Bob" Gender="M" DateOfBirth="1990-03-04" /> <Student Name="Chad" Gender="M" DateOfBirth="1991-05-06" /> <Student Name="Dave" Gender="M" DateOfBirth="1992-07-08"> <Pet Type="dog" Name="Rover" /> </Student> <Student DateOfBirth="1993-09-10" Gender="F" Name="Émily" />
</Students></lang>
Expected Output
April Bob Chad Dave Émily
8th
<lang forth>
\ Load the XML text into the var 'x': quote * <Students>
<Student Name="April" Gender="F" DateOfBirth="1989-01-02" /> <Student Name="Bob" Gender="M" DateOfBirth="1990-03-04" /> <Student Name="Chad" Gender="M" DateOfBirth="1991-05-06" /> <Student Name="Dave" Gender="M" DateOfBirth="1992-07-08"> <Pet Type="dog" Name="Rover" /> </Student> <Student DateOfBirth="1993-09-10" Gender="F" Name="Émily" />
</Students>
- xml:parse var, x
\ print only xml nodes which have a tag of 'Student' and whose attributes are not empty
- .xml \ xml --
xml:tag@ "Student" s:cmp if drop ;; then xml:attrs null? if drop ;; then
"Name" m:@ . cr drop ;
\ Iterate over the XML document in the var 'x' x @ ' .xml xml:each bye </lang>
- Output:

Aikido
Put the XML in the file called t.xml <lang aikido> import xml
var s = openin ("t.xml") var tree = XML.parseStream (s)
foreach node tree {
if (node.name == "Students") { foreach studentnode node { if (studentnode.name == "Student") { println (studentnode.getAttribute ("Name")) } } }
}
</lang> The output is (Aikido doesn't support unicode rendering):
April Bob Chad Dave Émily
AutoHotkey
simply using regular expressions <lang AutoHotkey>students = ( <Students>
<Student Name="April" Gender="F" DateOfBirth="1989-01-02" /> <Student Name="Bob" Gender="M" DateOfBirth="1990-03-04" /> <Student Name="Chad" Gender="M" DateOfBirth="1991-05-06" /> <Student Name="Dave" Gender="M" DateOfBirth="1992-07-08"> <Pet Type="dog" Name="Rover" /> </Student> <Student DateOfBirth="1993-09-10" Gender="F" Name="Émily" />
</Students> )
quote = " ; " pos = 1 while, pos := RegExMatch(students, "Name=.(\w+)" . quote . "\sGender" , name, pos + 1) names .= name1 . "`n"
msgbox % names</lang>
AWK
The following code extracts the value of the property "Name" from every Student tag. It does not handle the &#CODE;; this can be left to others: a way to cope with it fastly, is to output a very simple HTML structure, so that the interpretation is left to an HTML reader/browser.
<lang awk>function parse_buf() {
if ( match(buffer, /<Student[ \t]+[^>]*Name[ \t]*=[ \t]*"([^"]*)"/, mt) != 0 ) { students[mt[1]] = 1 } buffer = ""
}
BEGIN {
FS="" mode = 0 buffer = "" li = 1
}
mode==1 {
for(i=1; i <= NF; i++) { buffer = buffer $i if ( $i == ">" ) { mode = 0; break; } } if ( mode == 0 ) { li = i } else { li = 1 } # let us process the buffer if "complete" if ( mode == 0 ) { parse_buf() }
}
mode==0 {
for(i=li; i <= NF; i++) { if ( $i == "<" ) { mode = 1 break; } } for(j=i; i <= NF; i++) { buffer = buffer $i if ( $i == ">" ) { mode = 0 parse_buf() } } li = 1
}
END {
for(k in students) { print k }
}</lang> Using getXML.awk written by Jan Weber, one could do this:
or
<lang awk>awk -f getXML.awk sample.xml | awk '
$1 == "TAG" {tag = $2} tag == "Student" && /Name=/ {print substr($0, index($0, "=") + 1)}
'</lang> Using xmlparser.awk by Steve Coile, one can do this:
<lang awk>gawk -f xmlparser.awk sample.xml | awk '
$1 == "begin" {tag = $2} $1 == "attrib" {attrib = $2} $1 == "value" && tag == "STUDENT" && attrib == "name" {print $2}
'</lang>
Both of these produce this output
April Bob Chad Dave Émily
Scripts in AWK are often one-liners. This one-liner implementation searches for Student tags and then displays the contents of their Name attribute. The following line is meant to be typed in on the command line of a Unix shell or an MS-DOS command window.
gawk -lxml 'XMLSTARTELEM == "Student" {print XMLATTR["Name"]}' rosetta.xml

Bracmat
The get
function can read markup into a native datastructure, which can be analysed using pattern matching.
The read datastructure is a flat list of tags and text fragments. For proper nesting of elements extra code would have to be written, but in this simple task that is not necessary. On the downside, the pattern must both handle empty tags (the (? (Name.?name) ?,
pattern) and open tags (the ? (Name.?name) ?
pattern).
Reading input from a file:
<lang bracmat>( :?names
& ( get$("students.xml",X,ML)
: ? ( ( Student . (? (Name.?name) ?,) | ? (Name.?name) ? ) & !names !name:?names & ~ ) ? | !names )
)</lang>
Alternative solution, reading input from memory: <lang bracmat>( :?names & ( get
$ ( "<Students> <Student Name=\"April\" Gender=\"F\" DateOfBirth=\"1989-01-02\" /> <Student Name=\"Bob\" Gender=\"M\" DateOfBirth=\"1990-03-04\" /> <Student Name=\"Chad\" Gender=\"M\" DateOfBirth=\"1991-05-06\" /> <Student Name=\"Dave\" Gender=\"M\" DateOfBirth=\"1992-07-08\"> <Pet Type=\"dog\" Name=\"Rover\" /> </Student> <Student DateOfBirth=\"1993-09-10\" Gender=\"F\" Name=\"Émily\" />
</Students>"
, MEM , X , ML ) : ? ( ( Student . (? (Name.?name) ?,) | ? (Name.?name) ? ) & !names !name:?names & ~ ) ? | !names )

Clojure
This version uses the standard Clojure function xml-seq' <lang lisp> (import '(java.io ByteArrayInputStream)) (use 'clojure.xml) ; defines 'parse
(def xml-text "<Students>
<Student Name='April' Gender='F' DateOfBirth='1989-01-02' /> <Student Name='Bob' Gender='M' DateOfBirth='1990-03-04' /> <Student Name='Chad' Gender='M' DateOfBirth='1991-05-06' /> <Student Name='Dave' Gender='M' DateOfBirth='1992-07-08'> <Pet Type='dog' Name='Rover' /> </Student> <Student DateOfBirth='1993-09-10' Gender='F' Name='Émily' />
</Students>")
(def students (parse (-> xml-text .getBytes ByteArrayInputStream.))) </lang>
The parse produces a data structure where each element is represented as a map with :tag, :attrs, and :content keys. Thus the "April" element becomes {:tag :Student, :attrs {:Name "April", :Gender "F", :DateOfBirth "1989-01-02"}, :content nil}. xml-seq produces a sequence of such nodes by walking the resulting tree.

J
J's system includes several XML processing libraries. This task is probably best addressed using XPath (this is the type of problem XPath was designed to solve), but the task description implicitly discourages that method. So we can use the SAX library instead:

saxclass 'Students' startElement =: ([: smoutput 'Name' getAttribute~ [)^:('Student'-:]) cocurrent'base'

- REBOL has a simple built-in XML parser. It's not terribly fancy, but
- it's easy to use. It converts the XML into a nested list of blocks
- which can be accessed using standard REBOL path operators. The only
- annoying part (in this case) is that it does try to preserve
- whitespace, so some of the parsed elements are just things like line
- endings and whatnot, which I need to ignore.
- Once I have drilled down to the individual student records, I can
- just use the standard REBOL 'select' to locate the requested
- property.
data: parse-xml xml students: data/3/1/3 ; Drill down to student records. foreach student students [ if block! = type? student [ ; Ignore whitespace elements. print select student/2 "Name" ] ]</lang>

Uses regular expressions and the data is in a file identical to task description.
Assumes: a name attribute is complete in a line and only one name per line.

unicode:=RegExp(0'|.*(&#x[0-9a-fA-F]+;)|);
