Read xml file and lookup data in csv
Hello,
I have two files, one xml and one csv file. The .csv file has two columns, the first column containing the value from the xml and the second column containing a value needed to update the .xml. The ask - to read the xml file for the specific value, compare that value to the data in the first column of the csv file. If there is a match, take the value in column B and update the .xml. If no match, update the xml with a generic value. The csv file is comma delimited. There could be multiple xml files in the subdirectories that need to be read.
Example files attached.
The XML - <testdata TestDataToLookup="test2" random="data" TestDataToInsertFromCSV=""
test2 would be looked up in the csv file and column 2 would be inserted in between "" of TestDataToInsertFromCSV
Assuming the file would start with something like:
$path_search = "c:\test\ReferenceFile.csv
$path_target = "c:\test\" - there could be multiple xml files in different subdirectories to be scanned.
Get-Content c:\LookupFile.xml
$LookupFile = Import-CSV "C:\ReferenceFile.csv"
Very new to powershell. Any help in the right direction would be appreciated.
Thank you

Hi,
The xml would be: <testdata TestDataToLookup="test2" random="data" TestDataToInsertFromCSV="x
csv has test2,xml2
xml2 would fill in TestDataToInsertFromCSV="x
Thank you

Only a single update to the file. There could be multiple xml files in the subdirectories but only one update per file.
This isn't the only way to do this, however using a hash table will be very fast if you have a lot of XML files.
cd "c:\users\mark\downloads"
Import-CSV "Q_29119161.csv" -Header FindText,ReplaceWith |
% -begin{$lookupfile = @{}} `
-process{$lookupfile[$_.FindText] = $_.ReplaceWith }
$x = Get-Content "Q_29119161.xml"
if ($x -match '^(.+TestDataToLookup="([^"]+)" random="data" TestDataToInsertFromCSV=")[^"]*("[^$]+)$') {
$Fnd = $matches[2]
if ($LookupFile.ContainsKey($fnd)) {
set-content -path "Q_29119161.xml" -Value ($matches[1]+$lookupfile[$fnd]+$matches[3])
}
}
Hi Mark,
I tried running the script. It runs through without any errors but it didn't update the field. I'm working on it this morning and will get back to you.

The test file has less fields in it than the real file I'm working with. I'm sure that is why it updates on the test file and not on the one I'm using. How can I expand it out to look at the six field for a match?
Thank you
Thank you
Hi,
Attached is the exact xml file with dummy information filled in. Anything inside " " will be different in each file. The updated field we are looking for in the xml is surgeon="" which will come from the .csv.
Thank you.

XML should be handled as such:
$caseCsvFile = 'C:\Temp\case.csv'
$caseXmlFile = 'C:\Temp\case.xml'
$defaultSurgeon = 'generic'
$patient2Surgeon = @{}
Import-Csv -Path $caseCsvFile -Header PatientId, Surgeon | ForEach-Object {$patient2Surgeon[$_.PatientId] = $_.Surgeon}
$xml = [xml](Get-Content -Path $caseXmlFile)
$patientInfo = $xml.SelectSingleNode('Case/PatientInfo')
$patientId = $patientInfo.GetAttribute('patientId')
If ($patient2Surgeon.ContainsKey($patientId)) {
$surgeon = $patient2Surgeon[$patientId]
} Else {
$surgeon = $defaultSurgeon
}
$patientInfo.SetAttribute('surgeon', $surgeon)
$xml.Save($caseXmlFile)
Thank you. This worked using the test csv and xml. Can this be made to loop through subdirectories to look for all files case.xml?
This processes a complete directory. To process subdirectories as well, add -Recurse to the Get-ChildItem options in line 7.
$caseCsvFile = 'C:\Temp\case.csv'
$defaultSurgeon = 'generic'
$xmlPath = 'C:\Temp'
$patient2Surgeon = @{}
Import-Csv -Path $caseCsvFile -Header PatientId, Surgeon | ForEach-Object {$patient2Surgeon[$_.PatientId] = $_.Surgeon}
Get-ChildItem -Path $xmlPath -Filter *.xml | ForEach-Object {
Write-Host "Processing '$($_.Name)': " -NoNewline
$xml = [xml](Get-Content -Path $_.FullName)
If ($patientInfo = $xml.SelectSingleNode('Case/PatientInfo')) {
$patientId = $patientInfo.GetAttribute('patientId')
If ($patient2Surgeon.ContainsKey($patientId)) {
$surgeon = $patient2Surgeon[$patientId]
} Else {
$surgeon = $defaultSurgeon
}
Write-Host "$($patientId) --> $($surgeon)"
$patientInfo.SetAttribute('surgeon', $surgeon)
$xml.Save($_.FullName)
} Else {
Write-Warning "Node PatientInfo not found: '$($_.FullName)'"
}
}
Thank you. It does loop through the subdirectories but it keeps returning "Warning: Node Patient Info Not Found: C:\test\test.xml.
There is a match available in the csv.
There is a match available in the csv.
That means that the node PatientInfo can't be found in the xml file it found, so it does nothing.
This is the XML you posted, which processed fine here.
Note that XML is cAsE sEnSiTiVe.

Thank you. I'm not sure what happened. I copied the script again, resaved it and it worked. Question: the second column in the csv will contain LastName,FirstName. The script will fail because of the commas. Can I specify the delimiter to pipe using -Delimiter "|" in order to correct that?
Either that (or any other delimiter that is guaranteed to not be a part of a field), or enclose the fields in double quotes:
"test1","Last1, First1"
"test2","Last2, First2"
I tried using the quotes and also tried changing the delimeter to pipe in line 6 to
Import-Csv -Delimiter "|" -Path $caseCsvFile -Header PatientId, Surgeon | ForEach-Object {$patient2Surgeon[$_.Patie
but I receive a Method invocation failed. Is there more than -Delimeter "|" to be added?
Thank you
