Loop and compare multiple xml files

Hi All,

I have a project where i need to compare xml files between 2 directories. Below is the pattern of file names in each directory.

Directory 1

- sample1.xml

- sample2.xml

- sample3.xml

Directory 2

- sample1.xml

- sample2.xml

- sample3.xml

I need to compare the data in respective file name. Could you please assist in this regard? After reading through the community questions, I assume batch macro would be the right way to go ahead. Could you share any leads to quickly do this task?

Thank You!

hey @ArunAnnaldas

It sounds like a batch/iterative macro would be the one for this.

Just to help me build something for you, how are you 'comparing' the xml files?

Thank You for the prompt response!

Below is the approach I have used:

1. Read a xml file (say Sample1.xml) from Directory 1 using input data tool. Use Select Tool and select the tags required for comparison.

2. In Parallel, read another xml file (say Sample1.xml) from Directory 2 using input data tool. Perform Data Massage using XML Parser (since it has cascaded/child nodes). Use Select tool and select the tags required for comparison.
